Investigating accelerators

(use this Google sheet and online resources)

  • Group 1: Hadron Colliders 
  • Group 2: Electron Colliders 
  • Group 3: Light Sources 
  • Group 4: Cyclotrons

Questions for each group:

  • What is it? (Google it!)
  • How does accelerator size affect energy? (Make plots and find out.)

Playing with particles

  • Quark Puzzle
  • Particle Cards
