A number of particle physics activities have been developed as a Virtual Tour of Fermilab's Lederman Science Education Center . These activities have teacher and student pages for those not well versed in particle physics, but they also are designed to stand alone for students to work at their own pace.
Topics covered are family classification, event recognition, orders of magnitude and radiation.
These activities may be done with students over a wide range of ages as every age may be found to have similar prior knowledge in this field.
