I don't know if anybody else has a child or children that are worried/curious about the Large Hadron Collider. If they have, here are some sites that might help.

This is a LHC project simulator where you can try to recreate the right conditions for the experiment. It asks for name, school & location so I just put my name, home educating parent and my town and it let me carry on with everything.

This site has free resources on astronomy and particle physics (including LHC) aimed at ten to eighteen year olds. Some of the resources can only be downloaded but a lot can be sent to you through the post (still completely free and they arrive very quickly). They have a lovely pack called "Hands On Universe" which includes a large poster showing the planets and their locations (this has been updated since the de-classification of Pluto, I'm only putting this because Pluto losing it's status as a planet really upset my son!).
