The Universe in a Grain of Sand

Scientists often say the universe is all around us – even in a single grain of sand or a droplet of water. Write a story exploring this idea, making the ordinary extraordinary.

The emphasis of this prompt is on the ‘microcosm reflects macrocosm’ concept. Relate everyday objects or experiences to grand universal constructs, invoking awe and wonder while nurturing scientific curiosity and imagination. The exercise can lead students to perceive their surroundings with a new perspective, helping them realize how they are connected to the universe.
