Let’s Begin…
Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to give a visceral sense of the building blocks that make our world.
Describe the size and scale of an atom. Explain the relative size of the nucleus in relation to the size of the entire atom.
