Discover how
scientists use BNL’s particle accelerator as a microscope. Students will
gain an understanding of the size of atoms and experiment with collision simulations.
They will also observe superconducting magnets at work and view a
demonstration of how the properties of matter can change at very cold
temperatures. |

Lesson Objectives
1)
Demonstrate an
understanding of the structure and size of atoms.
2)
Conduct an experiment to
demonstrate the impacts of two types of collisions.
3)
Observe and explain the
results from these two collisions.
4)
Observe that properties
of materials can change when the temperature changes, in particular the
properties of superconductors. |
