A.T.O.M. Science Club

In this exploration of the amazing, action-packed story of our universe, club members will develop a timeline of the universe starting at its birth—the origin of space-time, called the Big Bang—until today. We will discuss the universe’s earliest moments before particles formed. We will ponder how the first particles sprang into existence out of the energy released at the moment of the Big Bang. How did those first particles become atoms? How is it possible that we are alive on planet earth 13.7 billion years later? All that’s required is a large pile of 3×5 cards, a hole punch, binder rings, a pencil, and the student’s curiosity!
