Visitors can experiment with the methods physicists use to reveal nature's secrets. Do you see patterns?
Particle Pinball - Physicists study patterns made by scattering particles off targets. Make and match one of the patterns by scattering pinballs off an invisible target.
Particle Pool - Physicists study trails left by particles in detectors. Set up your own collisions and study their ghost trails on the video monitor.
Particle Graffiti from the Collider Detector -How do particles write their signature? Read particle graffiti from the collider detector at Fermilab.
Bubbly Tracks - Search for particle footprints on film from the Fermilab bubble chamber detector.
Shape Shooters - How much can you find out about an invisible target by shooting a marble at it?
