Teaching with Data

QuarkNet Workshop for High School Physics Teachers

9:00 am to 3:30 pm, August 2-4, 2017
at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Register online.

Invest yourself for three days at Fermilab with data from projects studying neutrinos. We will explore research experiments and work to incorporate the data into our teaching. We will work with scientists at Fermilab and get a chance to see some of the hardware. We will look at summer research projects done by our QuarkNet students. You will develop a plan for leading students to increased levels of data collection, interpretation, and explanation

Active QuarkNet teachers meet annually to learn and share inquiry-based teaching methods for basic introductory physics concepts in a context of particle physics and astronomy. This excites students! Participants should expect to attend additional sessions throughout the school year.

To participate, you must be teaching currently. You will receive a $300 stipend for full attendance.

Please register before July 22nd.

For question, contact George Dzuricsko or Tom Carter, staff for the Fermilab/University of Chicago QuarkNet Center.
