You STEM-Press You Are Made of Stardust Paperback

An easy-to-read introduction to atomic structure, fundamental forces, the periodic table of elements, molecular bonding, the standard model, and quantum field theory. This book starts with the familiar, gradually carries students into the quantum world, and invites them to pursue unanswered questions, such as dark matter and string theory. Supports several Next Generation Science Standards at the middle school and high school levels, with links to lesson plans and a slideshow featuring fun activities for teaching atomic structure and molecular bonding to children as young as 3rd grade. Great for students, as well as adults who don't have time to study quantum mechanics.
