Session 4 takes a tour of CERN and tries to explain why it is worth spending so much money on one experiment. It then delves deeply into particle physics, looking at sub atomic particles and trying to give understandable analogies as to what these particles are and do. This session and session 5 are together the most complex theoretically and present most challenges to young peoples world views, and as such are often led as much by their questions(i) as by the scripted presentation. The session is thus often focussed on whole class(i) dialogue(i) and higher order(i) thinking skills as well as exploring scientific language(i)
