The Higgs boson is one of the particles that have been predicted, but has only recently been detected. It was predicted by several physicists, including theoretical physicist Peter Higgs. That is where the first part of the name came from.

OK, so what is a boson? That huge number of elementary particles is divided into two major groups: fermions and bosons. Fermions are sometimes called matter particles because they are the particles that take up space. Two fermions cannot be in the same spot at the same time.

This time we will explore metal fatigue. This is how metals react to bending and stress. To explore this, you will need:

Have you ever played with water balloons? If so, you probably dropped one at some time, and got wet when it burst. What if it had bounced instead? Water balloons can be made to bounce very easily, if you know the science.
