Projects as big as CERN's Large Hadron Collider don't happen without incredible risks - and occasional skullduggery. In the definitive account of this landmark event, Caltech physicist and acclaimed science writer...

Particle detectives

In this lesson, students explore how physicists are collecting and using evidence from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to learn more about the origins of the Universe. They begin by watching an animation set in the LHC, and learn that physicists are using the LHC to try...

Particle Model for the Solid, Liquid and Gas States

This progression toolkit develops understanding of the key concept of particle model for the solid, liquid and gas states, as part of a topic on substances and mixtures. This key concept helps to build broader understanding about particles and structure, which is one of the big ideas of science education at ages 11...

What is an atom made of? Why do ice cubes float in water? What is a buckyball? The visually stimulating 'Sci-Hi' books take learning science core curriculum to a whole new exciting level.

Particle Physics

The Particle Physics Project was made possible by funding from the Institute of Physics and support from the Centre for Science Education at the Open University. The project devised a pack of resources to help teachers and learners to engage with one of the most...

An A-Level text which covers the Particle Physics options for the NEAB, O&C and London syllabuses, and aims to present a lively approach in addressing the needs of both weaker and stronger candidates.
