Quark Puzzle

The Standard Model is a theoretical framework designed to help us understand matter. In this activity, students use cleverly constructed puzzle pieces (designed by Eric Gettrust) and look for patterns in how those pieces fit together.
The puzzles pieces, as much as possible, combine according to the Standard Model’s rules
governing the quark composition of bound state particles such as baryons and mesons. We provide a template that allows you to cut out the puzzle pieces and a “workbench” that students can use for assembly.
