CERN's supercollider by Brian Cox - TED talk

CERNland

CERNland is the virtual theme park developed to bring the excitement of CERN's research to a young audience aged between 7 and 12. CERNland is designed to show children what we do at CERN and inspire them with some physics at the same time. CERNland contains games on all topics related to the CERN activity.

Forces Governing Atomic Interactions

Topics

Atomic Interactions
Interaction Potential
Van der Waals Force
Atomic Bonding

Description

Explore the interactions between various combinations of two atoms. Turn on the force arrows to see either the total force acting on the atoms or the individual attractive and repulsive forces. Try the "Adjustable Attraction" atom to see how changing the parameters affects the interaction.

Sample Learning Goals

Gravity Force Lab

Topics

Force
Gravity
Newton's Third Law

Description

Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Change properties of the objects in order to see how it changes the gravity force.

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.

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).
