LIGO e-Lab
Objectives
Participating teachers will be able to use the LIGO e-Lab to:
- Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments; address limitations in the data.
- Make claims based on evidence from LIGO data and provide reasoning.
- Describe the connections between LIGO seismic data and classical physics wave concepts.
- Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in a gravitiational wave search.
- Develop a plan to implement material from the workshop in an educational setting.
Agenda
Times and specific activities are subject to adjustment.
