Quark Cookie Cutters

thingiverse

A set of quark cookie cutters that you can use to make your own cookies that can be combined according to the laws of the Standard Model of particle physics (Yum!) The cookie cutters are also available on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/1343558#.W3GgougzaUk The original puzzle is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3047674 and on the Quarknet website:https://quarknet.org/data-portfolio/activity/quark-workbench and on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/1286989#.W3GgcOgzaUk A 3D version of this puzzle is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3047613 and on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/1252868#.W3GemugzaUk Acknowledgements and References The original paper printable version of the Quark Workbench was created by Eric Gettrust. He created the 2D activity for his students in the summer of 2008 after a summer appointment as a QuarkNet lead teacher in the University of Wisconsin physics department. He published the idea in The Physics Teacher during the spring of 2010: https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/1.3393062 Eric Gettrust, “The Quark Puzzle: A Novel Approach to Visualising the Color Symmetries of Quarks,” Phys. Teach. 48, 312-315 (2010). Under the suggestion of Julia Woithe, Lachlan McGinness created the 3D printable cookie cutter version of this puzzle during his appointment as Teacher in residence in 2018.
