  4. It was interesting that to see the nucleus you would have to have a blueberry as big as a football stadium. THAT IS CRAZY HUGE!!!!!- Annie Sloyan

  5. wow cool I liked the comparison between the blueberries and the atoms to the size of the earth If you blow the atoms up to size of a blueberry # the atoms in a grapefruit - Brendan G.

  6. I learned the nucleas is really really small, so small that of you got a blueberry made it grow to the size of a football field, the nucleas would be the size of a marbel.

  10. wow! i never knew that there were so many atoms inside of a grapefruit ! i like how they compare the atoms to the blueberries and how they show that the amount of atoms in a grapefruit is the same amount of blueberries to cover the world !

  16. the fact that to actually see the nucleus you have to blow up the blueberry to the size of a football stadium is mind blowing! even then having the blueberry that size you can just see the nucleus as the size of a small marble. that is awesome!
