Classroom 2022

Prior knowledge for masterclasses / Classroom prep objectives

Note: When working with students online, it is still best to lead them to do preparatory activities. Several of these activities have links to notes on virtual adaptation; others may be adapted by the teacher.

Meeting these objectives will assure that students are well prepared for the masterclass.

• Describe the claim and indirect evidence in Rutherford's or another key experiment.
• Identify the peak in a histogram and explain what it means.
• Describe how quarks combine to form mesons and baryons.
• Apply conservation rules to measurements to provide evidence for unobserved particles.

Suggested activities

Particle physics research requires the use of indirect evidence to support claims.
Rolling with Rutherford (virtual adaptation)
Students will be able to:

• Describe the claim and indirect evidence in Rutherford’s experiment.
• Identify the peak in a histogram and explain what it means.

The Standard Model is the current theoretical framework for our understanding of matter.

Choose one or both:

• Quark Workbench (virtual adaptation)
• Shuffling the particle deck (virtual adaptation)

Students will be able to:

• Describe how quarks combine to form mesons and baryons.
• Explain how fundamental particles relate to each other based on their characteristics.

The behavior of particles is governed by conservation laws and mass-energy conversion.

Choose one or both:

• Calculate the Z Mass (virtual adaptation)
• Calculate the Top Quark Mass

Students will be able to:

• Apply conservation rules to measurements to provide evidence for unobserved particles.

FNAL:

For orientation, moderators should watch the videos and read the documents that apply. Provision will be made for Q&A and discussion. Zoom connection information is in the Moderation Schedules below.

Basic Videconference Plan

Times will vary. Revised Feb 2022. There is no provision for reports from Institutes*. 

*Some will present results anyway. That is OK.

Suggestions on how to be an effective Masterclass moderator:
You might know most of this already...but we still need to remind ourselves. Please send in items to add to this list.

• Speak clearly and succinctly
• Show your sense of humor
• Avoid too many explanations: draw ideas from students and then help them
• When you do explain, keep it short and direct
• Encourage students to speak up, give their views, and back them up
• Mind the schedule
• Be friendly
• It is alright to disagree...with mentors, students, or each other
• Let students get a feel for how you see data and analysis
• Be familiar with the Masterclass measurement
• Show your enthusiasm
• Work as a team
