This
presentation looks at the history and discovery of some of
the wide range of particles we now know.
Particle zoo
This
presentation explains some of the attempts at sorting the
particle "zoo".
Hadron builder
This
"hadron builder" applet demonstrates how we can combine quarks to make
hadrons and mesons.

Particle map
This map groups the
families of particles together with their composition and
behavioural characteristics, and it should help you find your
way through the confusing world of particles!
conservation rules
Look at
the simulation of beta decay, below. Your teacher will explain
how some inconsistencies observed in the early studies of beta
decay can be explained using conservation rules, and the
introduction of a new particle.
