An educational pathway which highlights the concept of earthquakes and their fundamental characteristics through a study that the students are called to perform. The purpose of this educational pathway is to achieve the identification of the basic concepts of the phenomenon of earthquake and the development of students' spatial thinking through the use of representative tools.

The "Earthquakes for Junior High School Students" Inquiry Learning Space introduces students to aspects of earthquakes. Students learn about the science behind earthquake generation and detection and investigate the Tectonic Plate Theory, by correlating its outcomes with the worldwide distribution of earthquakes in real time.

To use this inquiry learning space, you will need to click on the link to the activity and enter with a username of your choice.

In this educational activity, students will learn about earthquakes, the fundamentals of physics and geology behind the phenomenon, and will apply techniques using real data to locate the epicentre of earthquakes.

In this demonstrator we will be investigating Einstein’s monumental equation and discuss the science, the societal impact and the ethical questions imposed about the nature of science and the responsibility of the scientist. In this first activity we will investigate E=mc^2 through the paradigm of nuclear fission and thus make a first attempt to unravel the mysteries of the microcosm.

What is E=mc2 and why does it matter? An investigation of the famous equation using the paradigm of nuclear fission. In this demonstrator we will be investigating Einstein’s monumental equation and discuss the science, the societal impact and the ethical questions imposed about the nature of science and the responsibility of the scientist.

Today, we are able to study the universe in many colors that can’t be seen with our eyes. From detecting X-rays, to listening to the radio universe, we are able to use digital detectors to “see” hidden aspects of distant objects. In this lesson, we will review the electromagnetic spectrum.

Students will measure the Earth’s circumference based on Eratosthenes’ experiment, which he carried out at 3rd century B.C.

Examples of Experiments that can be done at the T9 Beam Line

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.
