Welcome to Kids Day @ SLAC 2007

Workshop Option A, Ages 9 - 10 years

Activity Hazards Mitigation

Mechanics 1: Build your own clip board working with a mechanical technician to lay out a hole pattern, use a small drill press and assemble your very own note and message board – SNAPPY!

Cuts, bumps, scrapes from dropping or slipping tools or sharp edges of parts.

Wear safety glasses.

Use clamps and keep your hands away from moving parts.

Pull hair back.

Wear safety glasses.

Biology: Look closely at the world around you! Using microscopes, look a real structures - UGLY

Cuts, bumps, scrapes from dropping or slipping tools.

Wash your hands after experiments; don’t drink solutions; tell the instructor if you break a microscope slide and stay away from moving robot parts.

Wear safety glasses.

Radiation: You will use different radiation detection instruments to find different types of sources and radioactive materials that are common. Suit-up, you will find hidden radiation sources – GET HOT!

Radiation (very small amounts – a fraction of what would be received from a medical x-ray).

Listen to your instructor.

Leave everything where you found it.

Magnetics: Build your own electromagnet and use it in a “shocking” demonstration of “step up” power. Test your aim with a magnet powered accelerator. Make your own magnets and - PUSH! PULL!

Electricity

Listen to your instructor.

Wear safety glasses.
