2. WHAT THE WORLD IS MADE OF Here you see a teeny dot—it’s a teeny tiny dot. You can clearly see the dot but inside it you cannot. If you could see inside the dot, according to the rules, Inside you’d see a lot of teeny tiny molecules.

3. What’s inside the molecules? – they’re teeny tiny atoms, Some of which are skinny ones and some of which are fat ones. What’s inside the atom? – well, the neutron and the proton, Which are all so small that they were never meant to float on.

4. Buzzing all around them is the very small electron. He’s so itsy bitsy that he’s always getting stepped on. And right next to him there is a thing that is so teeny, That if you want to see it, then you would need a genie. written and illustrated by Adrienne Potter

6. Try this: 1.Take your strip of paper and cut it into equal halves. 2.Cut one of the remaining pieces of paper into equal halves. 3.Continue to cut the strip into equal halves as many times as you can. 4.Make all cuts parallel to the first one. When the width gets longer than the length, you may cut off the excess, but that does not count as a cut. Hypothesis: How many cuts do you think you can make?

7. How far did you get? Cut 114.0 cm5.5"Child's hand, pocketsCut 27.0 cm2.75"Fingers, ears, toes Cut 33.5 cm1.38"Watch, mushroom, eye Cut 41.75 cm.69"Keyboard keys, rings, insects Cut 6.44 cm.17"Poppy seeds Cut 81 mm.04" Thread. Congratulations if your still in! Cut 10.25 mm.01"Still cutting? Most have quit by now Cut 12.06 mm.002"Microscopic range, human hair Cut 14.015 mm.006" Width of paper, microchip components Cut 18 1 micron.0004"Water purification openings, bacteria Cut 19.5 micron.000018"Visible light waves Cut 24.015 micron.0000006" Electron microscope range, membranes Cut 31.0001 micron.000000004 5" The size of an Atom!

8. Anything smaller? The size of an atom nucleus would take about 41 cuts. Scientists use advanced technology to explore the world of electrons and quarks that are at least 9,000 times smaller than a nucleus.

10. They're tiny and they're teeny, Much smaller than a beany, They never can be seeny, The Atoms Family. To the tune of…..

11. CHORUS They are so small. (snap, snap) They're round like a ball. (snap, snap) They make up the air. They're everywhere. Can't see them all.

12. Neutrons can be found, Where protons hang around; Electrons they surround The Atoms Family Neutrons & Protons make up the NUCLEUS

13. Together they make gases, And liquids like molasses, And all the solid masses, The Atoms Family

16. Name: Patty Proton Description: Positive Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade In the center of Matterville, there is a place called the Nucleus Arcade, where two members of the Atoms Family like to hang out

17. Name: Nelda Neutron Description: Neutral Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade In the center of Matterville, there is a place called the Nucleus Arcade, where two members of the Atoms Family like to hang out. Perky Patty Proton, like her sisters, is quite large with a huge smile and eyes that sparkle (+). Patty is always happy and has a very positive personality. Nerdy Nelda Neutron is large like Patty, but she has a boring, flat mouth and eyes with zero expression (o). Her family is very apathetic and neutral about everything. Patty, Nelda, and their sisters spend all their time at the arcade. The Atoms Family Story Name: Patty Proton Description: Positive Favorite Activity: Hanging out at the Nucleus Arcade

19. Name: Elliott Electron Description: Negative Favorite Activity: Racing around the arcade Around the Nucleus Arcade, you will find a series of roadways that are used by another member of the Atoms Family, Enraged Elliott Electron. Elliott races madly around the Arcade on his bright red chrome-plated Harley-Davidson. He rides so fast that no one can be sure where he is at any time. Elliott is much smaller than Patty and Nelda and he is always angry because these bigger relatives will not let him in the Arcade. He has a frown on his face, eyes that are squinted with anger, and a very negative (-) attitude. (Electrons dance all around the protons and neutrons like crazy little zombies!)

20. The first energy street can only hold only two Electron brothers. The second energy street, called the Energy Freeway, can hold 8 brothers. The third energy street, called the Energy Superhighway, can hold 18 of the brothers. Nucleus Arcade Contains protons & neutrons Energy Freeway Can hold 8 electrons Energy Superhighway Can hold 18 electrons Energy Street Can hold 2 electrons

21. The morale of Matterville is stable as long as each negative Electron brother is balanced out by one positive Proton sister. The number of residents in Matterville depends on the Proton and Neutron families. Challenge: What would happen to the morale of Matterville if one Elliott Electron was kidnapped?

22. Challenge 2: What would happen to the morale of Matterville if one Elliott Electron moved to Matterville?
