Looks like I'm unable to share my talk on Stellar Evolution, Origin of Elements, and Black Body Radiation with a few slides on CMBR at the end which I didn't have time to get to.

I would like to include the presentation in the following 3 file formats: Apple's Keynote (like PowerPoint), a Quicktime movie which just plays through the slides including the videos (some of which are a couple minutes longer than what I showed this week), and PDF.  The problem is that the file size limit for this Quarknet forum is 8MB but each of these formats produces files between 150MB and 1,100 MB in size.  If anyone has some suggestions other than using my own personal storage, let me know.

Here are some links to activities related to ATLAS and particle physics:

• ATLAS Data Express activity that we are doing today, July 24
• Quark Puzzle and Instructions that we did yesterday, July 23
• Rolling with Rutherford (roll marbles and use probability of hits to determine size)
• Mass Calc Z, using vector addition and relativity to determine Z mass from event display printouts. 

Attached is the PowerPoint presentation I gave on Gravity at the workshop today. I can't easily upload the code I wrote for the animations, but when I have the chance I'll upload that to some other place and include a link here.

I'm also uploading a pdf of a 1991 article from The Physics Teacher where I gleaned some of these ideas.

If you have questions or want more info about it, email me at:
