Blue Ray disc activity (based on an Ingenius lesson plan)

This is a sample scenario presenting all the features and capabilities of ISE. Follow each of the phases to see for yourself what can be done with the ISE platform. Clone and modify this scenario as your first attempt at the ISE authoring tool.

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.

The HYPATIA Demonstrator for High Energy Physics analysis using data from the ATLAS experiment

An introduction to the LHC and the basic principles of particle acceleration.

In this activity, students will observe the reflection and refraction of light, individually and in groups. The aim of the lesson plan is to firstly see what the students already understand about light, its properties and paying special attention to the difference between reflection and refraction as they are the most commonly mixed up. The students will be asked to perform a series of investigations to figure out the differences between refraction and refraction. A discussion will follow in order to more formally define the terms and the differences.

In this activity students will follow step by step the discovery of gravitational waves! They will be exposed to the modern theory of Gravity of Einstein in a pedagogically consistent manner and then investigate the parameters needed in order to build a gravitational wave detector sensitive enough to measure tiny signals such as this measured by the LIGO experiment in September 2015.

Testing Math and Physics review lessons

A lesson plan for Junior Certificate Science which aims to aid students understanding and allow them to take part in ''the effect of exercise on Breathing and Heart-Rate experiments. This investigation also links into Physical Education as Hear-rate is a key element of the Health-Related Activity (HRA) Strand of Junior Certificate Physical Education.

Everything in our universe is made up of a very small numbers of particles, and is controlled by just four forces. In this Hangout, we will discuss these basic building blocks of everything.
