We are accepting applications for the 2008 Summer Boot Camp. QuarkNet teachers will spend a week at Fermilab, tour the facilities, and work in small groups to analyze selected, accessible physics data. The end result will yield reconstructed particle decays and a deeper personal comprehension of what happens in collider detectors.

The goals for the week include:

• Connecting entry level physics to particle physics
• Experiencing guided inquiry from the "other side of the desk"

This opportunity is the same project done during Lead Teacher Institutes from 2001-2004. Successful participants will posses an understanding of:

Vector addition
Conservation of Momentum
Conservation of Energy
Data Analysis in Microsoft Excel

We will accept one teacher from each of 12 QuarkNet Centers to attend. We will give priority to teachers that have not attended before as well as centers that are not represented in the Teacher Fellow program. Participants will receive a stipend for the week as well as support for their travel to Fermilab.

Submitting this form will: add the information to the database and send a confirmation to the e-mail address entered in the form.

For the QuarkNet staff,

Tom
