Teaching with Data

QuarkNet Workshop for High School Physics Teachers

9:00 am to 3:30 pm, July 27-29 2016
at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Register online.

Immerse yourself for three days at Fermilab with data from the Large Hadron Collider. The first two days we will explore data from the CMS experiment to discover how to teach with data. The third day participants will work with scientists from Fermilab and the University of Chicago to look at research projects done by our QuarkNet students. You will develop a plan for leading students to the next level 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 1st.

For question, contact George Dzuricsko or Chris Stoughton, the physicist mentor for the Fermilab/University of Chicago QuarkNet Center.
