Exploratorium: Cern: Experiments With Antimatter

Have you ever seen an egg bounce? Three interesting and simple hands-on experiments with eggs teach basic concepts about chemical reactions. First, participants cook an egg in alcohol to learn about denaturing proteins. Then, they watch...

A wonderfully written non-technical introduction to antimatter, as well as a brief discussion of the investigation into the asymmetry between the quantities of matter and antimatter observed in our universe.

Explains the function of the Antiproton Decelerator, a device at the European Center for Nuclear Research used to "slow down" bunches of antiprotons for use in experiments.

Exploratorium Science Snacks are miniature science exhibits and experiments that can be made with common, inexpensive, easily available materials. These electricity snacks represent a set of devices that you can build and experiment with...

Try this experiment with a partner to investigate the extent of your peripheral eyesight. Includes video demonstration.

The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS), an LHC experiment, detects muons, electrons and photons, provides momentum measurements, and, like ATLAS, is responsible for detecting the Higgs boson. This CERN website offers news about CMS,...

Here is an activity where students experiment with how the brain receives a strange view of a familiar object.

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

Make a simple wind instrument and use it to experiment with pitch.

Can you make tinsel fly? In this activity, experiment with positive and negative charges to suspend tinsel into the air!
