| Discovery Channel
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 theremarkably clear and simple pages of The Particle Adventure,a widely praised site aimed at high school students. Repletewith 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."(June 9, 2000)

| Netsurfer Science
ParticleAdventure describes itself as a tour of the inner workings of the atom. You cantake the trip in English or put your French, Spanish, or Polish to good use. For students andteachers, worksheets for classroom projects are available online. This is a pretty bigplace, with over 200 pages, but there's a great site map to help you and a menu thatprovides a list of all pages, contents and a search engine. The organization is good, and thewriting up to snuff also, with neat illustrations, a sense of humor and some zanycomparisons. We particularly like the yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa! speeding electron in anaccelerator, but there are many other funny little labels here and there to lighten thelearning load. Sure this is definitely not the place for references for your Ph.D. thesis, butdon'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 andsupersymmetry and all the rest. We like it! (November 1999)

Description : The Particle Adventure - 'an interactivetour of the inner workings of theatom and the tools for discovery'. This site, mirrored in fourdifferent countries, contains hundreds of pages of informationon protons, electrons, neutrons and quarks ... the particlesthat make up atoms. The site explains the history of thedeveloping understanding of what is fundamental, from earth,wind, fire and water, to atoms, atoms to the nucleus, thenucleus to protons and electrons ... and so on. The StandardModel is then introduced - an attempt to describe all matterand forces in the universe (except for gravity), before lookingat the questions which still remain unanswered, and detailingthe research currently being carried out. Leptons, Quarks,Baryons and Mesons are all covered. The guided tour is completewith images, and cartoons provided in small bite sized pieces... with short quizzes to test your understanding. An excellenteducational resource for students.(January 29 1999)

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

It explores theexperimental evidence and the reasons physicists want to go beyondthis theory. It also provides information on particle decay and abrief history section. The website's organizers included a heftyglossary and even added a "particle pronunciation guide" for someof those weirder particle names.
