In the weeks that follow
As I'm sitting here at my local QuarkNet workshop and a week away from seeing students again I am reflecting on all that I was able to do and learn at the ISE Summer School in Greece. We obviously had a great time running around Marathon and Athens while we were there but the most important…
Seismic Waves Questions 1, 4, 5
By Deirdre Peck & Steve Gabriel What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/school/moviepage/03.01.19.html Geologists divide the seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior into two…
Seismic Waves Question 1, 2, 3
Describe seismic waves. By Zach Beam, Amanda Towry, Jim Stith What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? P Waves are compression waves (longitudinal waves) These waves are faster than S waves S waves are transverse waves (perpendicular to the direction of…

Quarknet at the Summer School in Marathon, Greece
We had a wonderful week at the European Summer School program called "Discover the Cosmos." Presenters from all over Europe gave talks about current technologies that can be used to present material to our students in new ways. Marge Bardeen from Fermilab even presented some Quarknet tools that we…
