Deep inside the Atom

From the Universe to the Atom >

Inquiry question: How is it known that human understanding of matter is still incomplete?

Students:
● analyse the evidence that suggests:
– that protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles
– the existence of subatomic particles other than protons, neutrons and electrons
● investigate the Standard Model of matter, including:
– quarks, and the quark composition hadrons
– leptons
– fundamental forces (ACSPH141, ACSPH142)
● investigate the operation and role of particle accelerators in obtaining evidence that tests and/or validates aspects of theories, including the Standard Model of matter (ACSPH120, ACSPH121, ACSPH122, ACSPH146)
