  1. Design Template Activity Name:____PARTICLE ACCELERATOR___________________ Date:_6/20/08_ Design Team:_____JOHN SERVANDA AND PROFESSOR KYLE COLE_____________ • Content Goals: • Students will understand that inertia, magnetic • forces, and momentum are the factors that will • affect how the particle accelerator works. • Process Goals: • Be able to work as a team. • Be able to properly use the science method. • Be able to orally present to the class. • Attitudinal Goals: • Encourage interest in science. • Inspire innovation and creativity. • Get students exposed to particle acceleration. • Science Standards: • California 8th grade Science Standards: • 1, 1a, 1d, 2, 2a, 2b, 2e, 7, and 7a. Prior Knowledge Assumed Students must have been exposed to Newton’s Laws of Motion, Basic principles of Magnetism, and the Law of Conservation of Momentum. • Lesson Outline: What the students do • Before Lab: • Review Newton’s Laws of Motion, Basic Magnetism, and Momentum. • During Lab: • Building accelerator according to specs. • Experiment and determine how to the accelerator works. • Hypothesize how to increase or decrease the force of the accelerated projectile. • Write up results and present to class. • After Lab: • Speculate practical applications of particle acceleration. • Discuss SLAC • Describe how the activity components achieve your goals: • Because students would have gone over Newton’s Laws of Motion, the should be able to explain how the accelerator works and how it can be applied. • This activity can lead to discussions of particle acceleration science, like SLAC. • Eventually this will lead into discussions about particle size and the Nanoscale. • The Nanoscale cards could then be introduced. • Assessment methods: • Use a simple rubric to help students identify what makes a good lab report and an oral report. • When would you integrate this into your curriculum? • Around late September, early October when the class studies Motion and Forces and then revisit the activity when we study Energy around December.
