Green cheese is unripe cheese, which has a yellowish color. Many hundreds of years ago, someone said that the Moon was made of green cheese. Was this model falsifiable in its time? Is it falsifiable now? Explain.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Since nucleons are constituents of atoms, and quarks are constituents of nucleons, quarks must have constituents.

Answer to Question 1

Just because something is the same color as something else does not make it
identical. This was an analogy, and while analogies are often productive, at the time the
model certainly was not falsifiable, because there was no way to reach the Moon's surface
and see what it was made of.
There have been trips to the Moon, and we now know a lot about the composition of lunar
soils. Because we can refer to these lunar soils (or conceivably return to the Moon), the
model is capable of being shown to be false.

Answer to Question 2

That quarks have constituents could be the case, but not because nucleons are
constituents of atoms and quarks are constituents of nucleons. Most theories take quarks,
along with electrons, muons tau particles and their associated neutrinos as fundamental.
