JINA Nuclear astrophysics Michigan State University’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory One of the JINA centers; a focal point for nuclear theory and research

JINA Studying the atomic nucleus An atom Proton Neutron Electron The nucleus All matter is made of atoms, and the nucleus is the heavy core of the atom

JINA The Problem(s) An atomic nucleus is as small compared to you… …as you are compared to our ENTIRE solar system Nuclei are incomprehensibly small A lot of terminology The word “nuclear”

JINA The Message There are MANY different isotopes of various elements, most are unstable and don’t exist on Earth. We have a lot to learn about nuclei! Protons (Elements) Neutrons (Isotopes)

JINA Why games? Active Stealthy Comfortable Repetitive Competitive More fun!

JINA Marble Nuclei A hands-on way to model nuclei, radioactivity, & reactions Presented as stand-up demo or complete lesson (for use on- or off-site with easily-accessible equipment and instructions) 250+ teachers trained to use model/lesson/activities (games), 150+ more have downloaded the materials Audience: General Public/Grades 7-12 Contact time: 5 minutes/2 hours/none Outcome: General understanding of nuclear research goals/methods at NSCL Cost: Free download, some materials provided via grant

JINA Magnet safety The silvery magnet at the core of your “nucleus” is a rare-earth or neodymium magnet… very strong for its size. 1.Don’t put that magnet in contact with anything that is magnetically sensitive (credit cards with a magnetic stripe, for instance)! 2.If you get two of them together, careful they don’t pinch your fingers! 3.You will likely drop some (or all) of your marbles. If you can’t find them, they are probably attached to a metal table leg or similar.

JINA Build a model nucleus Proton (positive, heavy) Neutron (neutral, heavy) Electron (negative, light) Positron (positive, light) (ignore) Magnetic marbles make it possible!

JINA Marble nuclei activities p-p chain Nucleosynthesis Game Isotope BINGO

JINA Instant Feedback What did you learn? What made sense (“clicked”)? What was confusing? Suggestions?

JINA Other games CNO Cycle (solitaire) Climb the Chart (Chutes & Ladders) Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory (education.jlab.org) Games & Puzzleseducation.jlab.org

JINA Recurring Themes Simple, short (repeatable) Borrows from known game mechanic Good ideas can come from anyone/anywhere Created through collaboration Thorough explanation of game rules is critical

JINA Partnerships: find the expert Collaborations allow for multiplication of effort (i.e. 1+1>2) Researchers and Game Design faculty at MSU are currently working on an app to teach nuclear science while the gamer smashes nuclei

JINA Making a game Who is your audience? What are your goals? How can you make a game out of them? –What will make it fun? –What will make it educational? Pair & Share now –Exchange ideas; what works? –Discussion to follow; what general/specific suggestions can you share with the group?

JINA Outreach Philosophy Adapt your message to many audiences Be flexible Differentiate yourself from formal learning Complement formal learning Partner with experts Leverage your unique experience and environment (almost) Always say yes Let word-of-mouth attract new audiences
