Human Accelerator http://education.jlab.org/beamsactivity/ 6thgrade/humanaccelerator/index.html
Jefferson Lab's accelerator only works if all of its thousands of components work together. In this experiment, students work together to move 'electrons' down their 'accelerator'.
- Location: Jefferson Lab
- SOLs Covered: Math: 6.1, 6.4, Science: 6.1, 6.2, LS.1, PS.1
- Time Required:
- Dates:
- Costs:

Magnets and Electromagnets http://education.jlab.org/beamsactivity/ 6thgrade/magnetsandelectromagnets/index.html
Scientists use electromagnets to steer Jefferson Lab's electron beam around the accelerator. In this experiment, students learn what affects the strength of an electromagnet.
- Location: The Jefferson Lab
- SOLs Covered: Math: 6.2, 6.18, Science: 6.1, 6.2, 6., LS.1, PS.1, PS.11
