More About neutrons
Neutrons were found by a man named James Chadwick. He found them in 1932. This was a big deal for science. It helped us learn more about atoms.
Neutrons are in all the things we see. They help keep atoms together. This is why we have rocks, trees, and even people!
In the future, we will learn more about neutrons. They help us understand how the world works. Neutrons are very cool!
