The document introduces various farm animals - a cow, pig, and duck - that represent protons, neutrons, and electrons. It explains that protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, and details how different combinations of quarks make up protons and neutrons. It then explains how the number of cows (protons) determines the atomic number and mass number, and how the atomic number determines the element, in this case Helium. The animals say goodbye and thank the reader for learning about atoms.
5. I am happy
because I’m a
proton so I
am positive.
I am boring
because I’m a
neutron so I
have no charge.
I am mean
because I’m an
electron so I have
a negative charge.
6. We are both made up
of quarks. Quarks are
small particles that
make up protons and
neutrons.
7. We are quarks. Us red
quarks are positive
and the other is
negative. Us two
positive quarks and
the one negative quark
make a proton.
8. We are quarks. Us
blue quarks are
negative and the other
is positive. Us two
negative quarks and
the one positive quark
make a neutron.
9. Depending
on many of
us cows there
are, that
determines
the atomic
number.
Because there are
two of us cows,
the atomic
number is two.
10. Depending
on many of
us cows and
pigs there
are, that
determines
the mass
number.
Because there are
two of us cows
and two pigs, the
mass number is
four.
11. Depending
on many of
us cows there
are and the
atomic
number, that
determines
the element
we are.
Because there are
two of us cows,
we are a Helium
Atom making us
the element
Helium.
12. Bye yawl,
thanks for
visiting our
farm!
Mooooooooo
ooooooooo!
We had a lot
of fun didn’t
we.
Oink.
I am still
mean.
Quaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaack!
13. Thanks for learning about the fun,
exciting, amazing, wonderful, glorious,
monumental things called atoms.
