Begun in 1998, this U.S.-based program provides opportunities for teachers to learn about and contribute to particle physics experiments and share what they learn with their students. This collaboration has yielded a variety of online instructional resources including raw datasets and derivative activities that provide opportunities for high school students to increase their understanding of particle physics and develop stronger scientific habits of mind.

Professor Peter Watkins of University of Birmingham, UK, gives a brief explanation of the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS experiment. In this short overview, he describes the following: 1. What scientists are researching at the LHC; 2. The LHC and how it works; 3. The main aims of the ATLAS experiment; 4. Why this experiment is exciting for science, for human kind; 5. The size of the ATLAS Detector; 6. The Grid- selecting events, analysis of data; 7. Connection between active research and undergraduate lectures; 8. What happens next - LHC results and future colliders.

Colliding Particles is a series of films following just one of the teams of physicists involved in the research at the LHC. The project documents their work at the frontiers of particle physics, exploring the human stories behind the research and investigating the workings of the scientific process itself. It is designed to support the How Science Works element of key stage 4 of the English national curriculum. The films have been made to illustrate aspects of the way in which science develops.

Particle physicists know how magnets big and small work and how they apply to our world. Students explore the relationship of magnetism and electricity and have questions answered about the power of these forces. This presentation is one of a series offered by Fermilab scientists, engineers and technicians at schools near the Lab.

This award winning film gives a glimpse behind the scenes of building the ATLAS detector. It asks: Why are so many physicists anxious to build this apparatus? Will they be able to answer fundamental questions such as: Where does mass come from? Why does the Universe have so little antimatter? Are there extra dimensions of space that are hidden from our view? Is there an underlying theory to find? Major surprises are likely in this unknown part of physics.

A 2 page/double sided A4 brochure. This brochure introduces the CMS detector on the LHC at CERN. Topics covered include a brief introduction to CMS on the LHC, the fundamental questions it seeks to answer, detector parts and their purpose and basics on the collaboration. Printed copies may be ordered from the CERN Press Office. Allow 6 weeks for delivery from date of order.

A 2 page/double sided A4 brochure. This brochure introduces CERN and explains very briefly what scientists and researchers are doing there. Topics covered include definitions of basic particles and forces, a timeline of CERN milestones, particle accelerators, LHC and what it is designed to study, basic structure of particle detectors.
