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.
Come up with your own analogy as to the size of an atom. Do some proportions to determine how you could describe how small an atom is.
