Graphing is an important tool used by scientists to interpret data. Students can practice their graphing skills while playing this game.
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. Detailed instructions for building the electromagnet used in this experiment can be found in the Questions and Answers section of this site.
With the invention of the microscope, scientist could see things they never could before. They discovered that we were surrounded by strange creatures that were too small to see. In this activity, students will discover new things about ordinary objects.
Before computers were common, accountants would use digital roots to quickly check their math. Today, your students can use digital roots to play a trick on their friends while working out math problems in their heads!
Nim is a game of logic and strategy. The goal of Nim is to be the player who removes the last of ten protons from the computer screen. A player must remove one or two protons during their turn. The player who removes the last proton wins.
What state of matter is this!?!? In this experiment, students observe and experiment with a strange substance in an attempt to classify it.
The goal of the Place Value Game is to create the largest possible number from the digits the computer gives you. Unfortunately, the computer will give you each digit one at a time and you won't know what the next number will be. You are not allowed to rearrange any of the digits you have already placed, so think carefully before you lock a number in place! Good luck!

How can scientists study something they can't see? In this experiment, students use indirect observations to predict the shape of a hidden object. Scientists at Jefferson Lab study atoms in a similar fashion.
Experiments at Jefferson Lab will take weeks to months to complete. During this time scientists will collect millions of pieces of data. Once the scientists have the data, they begin to analyze the data using computers, looking for evidence to support or disprove their theories. To simulate the scientific data collection process, students will create the necessary data to calculate speed.
The goal of SpeedMath Deluxe is to create an equation, as quickly as possible, from the four digits the computer gives you. You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to create your equation, but you are not allowed to rearrange the digits.
The goal of SpeedMath - Inequalities is to determine, as quickly as possible, if one expression is larger than, smaller than, or equal to another expression.
Computers and the internet play an increasingly larger role in the lives of students. In this activity, students must use various web sites to locate specific pieces of information. In Scavenger Hunt 1, students will be searching for information on various commercial web sites. In Scavenger Hunt 2, students will be searching for information on the web sites of Virginia based colleges and universities.
The computer will randomly pick a term used in science, math or social sciences. Discover the word the computer has picked by guessing which letters are in it. Each incorrect guess you make causes the atom man to decay. Solve the puzzle before the atom man completely decays!
Our understanding of atoms has been formed through decades of experimentation. In this activity, students learn about the historical developments of atomic theory while labeling the new discoveries.
