From CERN, the world's largest particle accelerator, this site contains a description of the Proton Synchotron, a device used to accelerate protons for use in other machines in the accelerator complex.

This lesson plan explores the fundamentals of atoms and their structure. The building blocks of matter (protons, electrons, neutrons) are covered in detail. Students think about how atoms and molecules can influence new technologies...

Describes the structure of an atom and the characteristics of the electrons, neutrons, and protons inside it. Includes some interesting facts about atoms.

An atom is made of three parts - protons, neutrons, and electrons. Here you can explore these different parts.

The third paragraph pinpoints the importance of hyperons in particle research. Hyperons and neutrinos share characteristics of the weak force. Complex stuff, but the real deal. Parts of this report may be very useful. Many photos, slow...

Young scholars explore the periodic table and learn the basic information given for elements: the name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass for each element.

Investigate the forces of electrons and protons in this experiment with electrostatic charges.

This lesson focuses on the structure of atoms. All substances are made from atoms. Each atom is made of a nucleus - containing protons and neutrons - surrounded by electrons. It provides a link to an assessment.

In this online biology textbook, learn about atoms and molecules as they relate to life. Find out about topics such as electrons and energy, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions.

At this site from the Purdue University, the elementary subatomic particles are described and electromagnetic radiation is detailed. Includes learning exercises and answers.

Explains the processes of radioactive decay in primary and secondary modes.

"The Phantom has provided you with a simulated spectroscopy of an Atom! Amuse the Phantom by observing the spectroscope and you'll learn more about the Atom." Observe and review the structure of the atom.

When two or more atoms combine they give rise to a molecule. A molecule can be made up of many atoms of the same element. There are 112 elements known to man, so can you imagine the different permutations and combinations of molecules...

Provides a description of the Cockroft-Walton accelerator built in 1932.

We're about to move into the modern age of physics. In the early 1800's, scientists began examining the basis of matter, space, and time. Sometimes it gets very confusing, but the big idea is that Newton's physics describe about 90% of...

This review from the Glenbrook South High School provides a series of questions on various topics associated with static electricity (such as electrical insulation). Answers and explanations are hidden, yet easily accessed from within a...
