Lesson: Quarks Chemistry • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the properties of quarks and the composition of protons and neutrons.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain that protons and neutrons are made from subatomic particles known as quarks,
name the six flavors of quark and the electrical charge associated with each,
describe the composition of neutrons and protons in terms of the number of and types of quark,
explain how the electrical charges of neutrons and protons result from the specific combination of quarks.
