High Energy eInfrastructures
ATLAS, CMS, LHC are some of the infrastructures featured in the Discover the Cosmos portal. More infomation on the specific infrastructures and examples of their applications in classroom can be found in this link
HYPATIA
(Hybrid Pupil's Analysis Tool for Interactions in Atlas) is part of the ATLAS Student Event Challenge (ASEC), a contemporary educational project regarding Particle Physics. HYPATIA is focusing in high-school education and engages students to work with the most advanced techniques used by modern particle physics. It enables students obtain a better understanding of the interactions between fundamental particles of matter by studying ?events? detected by the ATLAS experiment.

LHC game
Introduce the principal elements of a particle accelerator such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. A computer interactive developed for the Microcosm exhibition at CERN introducing the workings of a particle accelerator like the Large Hadron Collider. Users of the interactive discover how, for example, protons are accelerated using electromagnetic fields. They then put their knowledge to the test as they are asked to regulate the accelerating field to accelerate a proton before passing to the next stage.
Marble our Ellipses
Marble our Ellipses
In order to understand the orbits of planets, comets, and other celestial bodies, it is necessary to examine the principles of how gravity and the velocity of an object interact to produce an orbit. It is a common misconception among students that planetary orbits are circular. This practical activity gives a space setting to speed-time graphs. It shows how the speed of objects in elliptical orbits change as they orbit the Sun. An extension activity which looks at the geometry of ellipses and their relation to physical parameters in the Solar System is included.
Modeling the Interactions in a Nucleus
Modeling the Interactions in a Nucleus
One of the harder ideas to grasp in fusion is that nuclei, which, because of their electric charge, strongly repel at long range (compared to the size of a nucleus), can strongly attract at short range. This activity allows students to explore a similar situation in which the magnetic interaction provides the repulsion (similar to the electric interaction within the nucleus) and Velcro provides an attractive force at short range (similar to the nuclear strong interaction).
Paxi fun book
Activity book about the Solar System and the Universe, which also features ESA’s comet chaser Rosetta. It includes colouring sheets, mazes, a Solar System and Universe mobile, Paxi’s unique memory game, and much more!
Rosetta Model
Print out and build these cartoon models of Rosetta and Philae! All you need are small scissors and glue.
Star & Planet Formation
Our universe started as a fog of particles, but slight variations in density allowed the formation of stars, galaxies, and the large-scale structures of the universe. In this lesson, we’ll discuss early structure formation and fast-forward to today’s stars with planets.
Stars and Energy Transport
The Earth is warm because energy created in the core of the Sun is able to travel from the Sun’s Core to its surface, and then shine through space all the way to Earth. As it travels, the light is transformed from deadly high-energy particles to the nice warm light that keeps us alive. In this lesson, we will discuss the primary ways energy is transported: convection, conduction, and radiation.
