Students can access selected data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment currently running at Fermilab. From this data they can determine neutrino energy and momentum distributions. Additionally, by using conservation of momentum one can determine if neutrons bound in nuclei of atoms are stationary or if they are moving around.

Οι μαθητές θα μάθουν για το περίφημο πείραμα του Φουκώ με βάση το οποίο αποδείχθηκε πρώτη φορά πειραματικά η περιστροφή της Γης.

Students will observe the movement of Foucault’s pendulum in order to witness the Earth’s rotation.

The students will observe Foucault's Pendulum in order to observe the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Travelling through history, from the era of Eratosthenes with the bematists, to Heron of Alexandria and his odometer, to the time of the GPS and the online maps, students will comprehend the concept of distance measurement
