2016 Minnesota Cosmic Workshop
Objectives Participating teachers will be able to: Organize data using the cosmic ray muon e-Lab. Specify limitations and assumptions of a propsed experiment. Manipulate apparatus using appropriate data acquisition equipment for calibration, characterization, and analysis of measurements.…

LIGO e-Lab workshop at OSU
June 16-17, 2016 Objectives Participating teachers will be able to use the LIGO e-Lab to: Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in gravitiational wave search Use LIGO seismic data to demonstrate classical physics concepts…
Different Frequency Bands in DMT
Dale Ingram of LIGO sent a nice description: 0.03 - 0.1 Hz -- Large distant quakes (>6.5); the seismic effects of strong local winds. 0.1 - 0.3 Hz -- Large distant quakes (>7); microseisms (from ocean waves). 0.3 - 1 Hz -- Nothing of note. This is the quietest band, with no…
Seismic Review Questions
Describe seismic waves. What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? How do the various types of seismic waves propagate through the earth? Why are seismic waves important to LIGO? What are sources of seismic waves? How are seismic waves measured?

Agenda--Rice QuarkNet ---June 7-8, 2016
Objectives Participating teachers will: Apply classical physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations. Identify and describe ways that data are organized for determining any patterns that may exist in the data. Create, organize and interpret data plots; make…
