For Researchers
LHC & Fermilab
- CERN Homepage
- Experiments: ATLAS, CMS, LHCb
- Fermilab Homepage
Create learning pathways using instructional activities based on Cosmic Ray or CMS data in 4 engagement levels.
- CMS & Cosmic Ray—address ALL practices in Next Generation Science Standards.
- Cosmic Ray: Join global student network & do original research.
- Join scientists for research.
- Data Camp: Week at Fermilab to learn particle physics & education practices.
- Workshops at centers.
Students are scientists for a day to make measurements on authentic experimental data & join a video conference with peers.
QuarkNet Video
Teachers and a mentor discuss how QuarkNet empowers teachers to adopt new teaching strategies and how we train the next generation of scientists and non-scientists to think critically and understand the world around them. Students talk about their experience measuring muons with their cosmic ray detector.
