Recreating the Big Bang/teaching approach

This presentation offers a tour of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and explains why it is worth spending 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 whole class^(ta) dialogue^(ta) and higher order^(ta) thinking skills as well as exploring scientific language^(ta). This 4th session and the 5th are together the most theoretically complex and they present challenges to young peoples world views. As such they are led as much by their questions^(ta) as by the presentation.
