FNAL/UofC, QuarkNet Teachers Workshop 2022: CMS Masterclass Workshop

I have created a document version of this agenda, so as to allow for comments.

Please make any future adjustments to the "completed" version.

Objectives

Apply physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations.
Examine simulated and experimental data. Identify patterns within the data and consider the causes of those patterns.
Create, organize and interpret data plots; make claims based on evidence and provide explanations; identify data limitations.
Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.
