Abstract
Synchrotron light sources have been applied in many fields of scientific researches, including advanced physics, chemistry, life science, materials science, environmental protection, nanotechnology and so on. It is also an important indicator of the high technology performance in many countries. This research integrated the knowledge and concepts of synchrotron light source into the curriculum of Science and Life Technology in elementary schools by developing the virtual synchrotron light source model and its digital learning contents, hoping to increase the interest of elementary students in familiarizing and learning this advanced technology. © 2008 IEEE.
