Queen Mary University of London - Particle Physics
Queen Mary University of London and the South East Physics Network have produced three particle physics kits for use in schools: Building the Universe; Fisson and Fusion and an A-level Particle Physics kit. All the kits use Lego bricks as fundamental particles, so that students can build atoms and look at the interactions between particles. The Lego bricks themselves are available in packs from Queen Mary University, London.

Particle Physics: a Physics Kit
This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...
Build Your Own Universe
This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...
Fission and Fusion: a Physics Kit
This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour and size Lego bricks are assigned to protons, neutrons and electrons. Fusion is shown by joining bricks together and fission by breaking large collections of bricks apart....
