Large Hadron Rap

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest particle accelerator in the world, and also operates at the highest energy levels. Operated by CERN, it first went operational in 2008, and was designed to be the most sophisticated particle accelerator and detector ever made.

YouTube's alpinekat made a rap about it (check out some of Alpinekat's other science raps as well!)

Quirky and informative, this song will not only make you roll your eyes, but teach you a little about the LHC, antimatter, and the proposed Higgs boson!

Strange Charm: A Song About Quarks

Another song about quarks? You'd almost think they're everywhere!

The incorrigible Vlog Brothers offer their own spin (or anti-spin?) on using music to teach about quarks. Rated PG for mild language, and some brief promotional material follows the song.

Quark Song

The smallest of the small, quarks are the basic building blocks that make up protons, neutrons, and many other particles! Learn a little about quarks with this unique song by Lynda Williams, the Physics Chanteuse. Physics is so much yum-yum fun!
