Electron-Ion Collider

Support Orgs Dept. Codes

Using marbles, students perform an experiment that models sub-atomic particle collisions in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Students will make observations for analysis to learn about how energy is transferred in different types of collisions.

Vocabulary: Conservation of energy, collisions, energy transfer

Session Information
Session times are Tuesday - Friday, 10 - 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 - 2 p.m. Activities are pre-selected based on grade level Up to two classes per session, maximum 30 students/class
