가장 작은 수준의 우주: 빌딩 블록 이해(1부)

The universe is made of incredibly tiny particles that interact to make everything happen. Protons, neutrons, and electrons bond together to form atoms. But how does this happen? What are those made of? These are questions that scientists have been working on answering for the last hundred years.  In this class we will look at the experiments that have brought us to what is known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and what the pieces of the Standard Model are.  This class is the first part to a series of classes to give learners an introduction to particle physics.

Each week's lesson will include the following:
~ Listening as I explain the week's concept
~ Viewing a slideshow and diagrams to represent the ideas presented
~ Asking and answering questions throughout the class, aloud and/or in the chat box
~ Sketching models to represent experiments or particles we discuss
~ Adding to what will be a completed chart showing what is called the Standard Model of Particle Physics
~ Discussing the discovery of particles and the importance of particle-level physics
