View source for Recreating the Big Bang/teaching approach

This presentation  takes a tour of CERN and tries to explain why it is worth spending so much money on one experiment. It then delves into particle physics, looking at sub-atomic particles to offer analogies for what these particles are.  The session  focuses on {{teachtag|whole class}} {{teachtag|dialogue}} and {{teachtag|higher order}} thinking skills as well as exploring scientific {{teachtag|language}}. This 4th session and the next are together the most theoretically complex and they present challenges to young peoples world views. As such they are led as much by their {{teachtag|questioning|questions}} as by the presentation.
