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 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.
We will also provide opportunities to engage in critical dialogue among teaching colleagues about what they learn in the workshop.

Workshop Self-Check
The Teaching & Learning fellows want to be helpful and support workshops however we can. To that end, we drafted this document called "Workshop Self-Check" that we hope will help you plan, implement and reflect on the workshops. We intended this to be more than a preflight, since the LHC and cosmic groups already have such lists; its main intent is to help you stay flexible during the workshop, be sensitive to the needs and progress of the teachers, and to think about how it went afterwards and make plans for improvement.
Hope it helps!

LHC Fellow Mission - Draft
Through the development of activities and workshops such as the Particle Physics Masterclass, CMS and Ligo e-Labs the LHC Fellows:
-
Acquaint teachers with contemporary, high energy physics experiments and data analysis.
-
Prepare teachers to bring contemporary, high energy physics into their classroom.
In one sentence:
LHC fellows get high energy physics data into the hands of teachers and students.
Cosmic Ray Workshop Agenda
“Our mission is to create opportunities for teachers and students to explore the nature of scientific research. Using cosmic ray muon detectors, participants design and perform experiments to analyze data employing the cosmic ray e-lab.”
Learning objectives.
a. Configure a cosmic ray detector appropriately for acquisition of data for calibration and analysis of measurements.
b. Identify and describe the e-Lab tools available for conducting studies with data collected using a cosmic ray detector.
c. Create, organize and interpret a data plot to make a claim based on evidence; provide reasoning and identify data limitations.
d. Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.
Pre-Workshop notes:
-- needs assessment including communicating with mentor and/or lead teacher
-- check GPS location
-- check room
-- check projector and cables for presentations
-- print workshop evaluation
-- gather tools & supplies - TAPE! TAPE! TAPE!
-- optional: black light --> scintillator
-- create e-Lab and Quarknet accounts for all teachers
--- have data collection computers with EQUIP installed and JAVA updated
