More Information

Scientists use many different types of detectors to “see” subatomic particles. In this session, students will learn about how some of those particle detectors work and see how a diffusion cloud chamber can help them discover subatomic particles all around us. They will then practice their particle detection skills by competing against each other in a game based on the Rutherford scattering experiment.

Session Information:
-Flexible instruction whether students are in the classroom or at home
-Interactive, instructor-led session facilitated with students using materials from school or home (can also be demonstration-based if students do not have access to materials)
-Teachers will receive a detailed Teacher Notes guide upon booking
-Secure link to Zoom Gov videoconferencing platform will be provided
-$240 per class for this 1-hour program (BOCES-aidable)
