Schoolzone - "Highly rated Site" Schoolzone was set up by a group of enthusiastic teachers and parents in Oxford in 1997. We could see the need for safe, differentiated Internet material which teachers, students and parents can access easily. So we devised Schoolzone and, with the help of over 400 UK teachers created the site as you now see it. |

This site takes your students into the future. Check out this totally awesome interactive site for students of chemistry and physics. This adventure tells us of what the world is made (quarks, leptons and force carriers) and how the world is held together (gravitational force, strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force), and tests for knowledge with frequent quizzes. A great site to introduce your students to the multimedia nature of the internet. |

"Wild ride. The present best theory of what all matter boils down to, known as the Standard Model, is explained in the remarkably clear and simple pages of The Particle Adventure, a widely praised site aimed at high school students. Replete with animations of decays, quizzes, and a pop-up glossary, the site starts out by discussing quarks, leptons, and other particles, lays out the experimental evidence for them, then explains the workings of giant accelerators and detectors."

If you've ever wondered what the heck quarks and neutrinos are, or why anyone cares, this is the site for you. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's particle physicists have created an accessible, entertaining primer on, as they describe it, what the world is made of and what holds it together. Nine sections address these fundamental questions and explore related topics, such as how researchers collect and interpret particle data, and how particles decay into other particles. One not-to-be-missed chapter covers unsolved mysteries, delving into supersymmetry, string theory, dark matter, and the possible existence of extra dimensions. Other features include particle physics news and a page of links to other particle physics education sites. |

Planet Science Site of the Day (New Scientist) Planet Science is the award-winning online voice of the world's leading science and technology news weekly, New Scientist. -- September 1996 |

September 1996 -- Earning this designation is quite a distinction. Just as we do with top-rated movies and TV programs, we look daily for Web sites that are likely to be sure hits with readers -- sites that seek to astound and delight, inform or amuse -- by exhibiting excellence in graphics, content or both. |

An interactive tour of quarks, neutrinos, antimatter, extra dimensions, dark matter, accelerators and particle detectors. There is good visual layout and lots of links to other sites. This is an excellent resource for a challenging concept. Average Rating (1-low to 5-high): 5.0 |

ParticleAdventure describes itself as a tour of the inner workings of the atom. You can take the trip in English or put your French, Spanish, or Polish to good use. For students and teachers, worksheets for classroom projects are available online. This is a pretty big place, with over 200 pages, but there's a great site map to help you and a menu that provides a list of all pages, contents and a search engine. The organization is good, and the writing up to snuff also, with neat illustrations, a sense of humor and some zany comparisons. We particularly like the yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa! speeding electron in an accelerator, but there are many other funny little labels here and there to lighten the learning load. Sure this is definitely not the place for references for your Ph.D. thesis, but don't worry all you physics buffs (thank goodness we remembered to leave the -oon- out!), your favorite leptons and quarks are here, as well as quantum mechanics and supersymmetry and all the rest. We like it! (November 1999) |

Description : The Particle Adventure - 'an interactive tour of the inner workings of the atom and the tools for discovery'. This site, mirrored in four different countries, contains hundreds of pages of information on protons, electrons, neutrons and quarks ... the particles that make up atoms. The site explains the history of the developing understanding of what is fundamental, from earth, wind, fire and water, to atoms, atoms to the nucleus, the nucleus to protons and electrons ... and so on. The Standard Model is then introduced - an attempt to describe all matter and forces in the universe (except for gravity), before looking at the questions which still remain unanswered, and detailing the research currently being carried out. Leptons, Quarks, Baryons and Mesons are all covered. The guided tour is complete with images, and cartoons provided in small bite sized pieces ... with short quizzes to test your understanding. An excellent educational resource for students. (January 29 1999) |

Dr. Matrix Award for Science Excellence Sites receiving this award are distinguished by the quality of their content alone. A flashy Web site will not receive this award if its content lacks interest and integrity. A simple Web site will receive this award if it serves the interests of discovery, mental enrichment and thoughtful enjoyment. This award doesn't go to "cool" sites. It goes to the great sites. It's not a daily or weekly award, but an award based on presence, here and now. It is given in gratitude, with no other request but that you keep doing what you're doing. |
