Hoiw to Report

Each group has a public Google slides presentation:

1. Group 1
2. Group 2
3. Group 3

Dave's CIMA Notes:

check on "timing out;"  turn that off!
Presume tablet usable
On results spreadsheet, move summary results to top

Administrator option to show "grand totals," preferably with option to remove group from totals....  Maybe implement as a checklist of which groups to include in grand totals.  Or maybe some way to switch on/off uploads or "cleanup"

Distinguish (color?) mu & e on histograms
Histogram for each student pair?
Possible supplemental graphs?
Discourage ATLAS automatically making histogram.  But might make it clearer what needs to done to make histogram AND that it needs to be done.

Additional CIMA Notes:

LIGO—what levels are needed to have scaffolding—

     Level 0—what is a histogram, identifying a peak, how do you make that measurement -dice

     Level 1 –    

                        Getting to science as inquiry, signal to noise, period motion

                        Currently Missing--  we need a tidy signal to noise activity.  Create a lab—

                        percent difference HERE   scaling on a graph

                        scaffolding for novice teachers—authentic science inquiry

     Level 2 – examining the signals that have been historically created for Higgs and whether it is significant, Bin Size,  Here sigma or the significance of the outlying data

     Level 3 is the e-Lab  getting back to supporting the facts.

                        It is time to update the data that is available in LIGO e-Lab to reflect the collision data between the two black holes detected in 2016

An advanced approach will be to use data with master class, CMS, to include noise vs. less noise

            And this approach within Ligo that can be used more globally across other e-Labs, looking at data from other e-Labs to support this same enduring understanding

1.     What other supports can we provide to less-experienced teacher?

                        Next level for teachers—teachers modeling and engaging with authentic science for students.  

            We can produce an activity that grounds teachers and introduces students to authentic science practices.  

            Science as a way of doing things to learn things—frames of reference?  Period of a pendulum?  

            Birds eye view, what is the motion?  Motion on a 

            Motion of peak to peak, different frames of reference  can you merge your signal with other’s signal to get something that is real?

            Supports to novice teachers is the process of getting the factors that do impact the period

            And the signal to noise stuff is showing the data that mass is not a signal, length is

2.     Are there things that we can expand out sideways that we can address?

            Periodic motion

            Interferometry, interference, phase relationships

            Beats/sound

            Ripple tanks

            Double slit

            Diffraction

            Totem master class—level 2 as well

Level 4 activity?—programming?

LIGO group  #1

Level 0—  dice histogram -  signal

Level 1 --  period of the pendulum inquiry

                        Scaffolded for novice science teacher for authentic way to learn science

                        Percent difference as signal to noise strand next step

                        Introduction to periodic motion, waves, phase, etc.

Level 2 – Does NOT currently exist—analyzing historical particle discoveries

                        Getting more advanced with signal to noise, sigma or other statistical analysis

Level 3 – Ligo e-Lab

                        Would LOVE to have the e-Lab now include the black hole collision data

Level 4 --  Programing as a way to access the data?  

Discussed expanding and improving masterclasses.

brainstorming on coding possiblilities for level 4 LHC actitivies

Poked around (found bugs) in CMS e-Lab.   Brainstorming organizing of using the new interface in workshops and explorations.

still need

CIMA

and the rest of the agenda

assistance

30 hrs in a day

Day 2

still working on the specs.....but did video conference with Tom McCauley and Joel Griffith on CIMA, ISpy,  CMS elab and data sets....talked about Adam's Level 4 activity with IT team

Still need to do lots of stuff with neutrinos

Ligo----discussed topics for the data strand....specific ideas for specific ideas activities to be worked on ..in future

Started coverage plans for summer work

did not look at templeates for workshops

need to do

Workshop coverage,

Templetate update for CMS elab

Neutrino MasterCalss

Complete Ligo activities

W2D2

Topic: Neutrino Masterclass

Page updated August 2019.

Objectives for:

• LHC fellows in Fellows Workshop

• LIGO e-Lab Workshops

LHC fellows workshop goals, 20-21 May

In their breakout sessions, the LHC fellows will:

• Create design specifications for enhanced version of CIMA and iSpy for the CMS masterclass.
• Create speciofications for a neutrino data strand and a neutrino masterclass.
• Create specifications for a LIGO data strand.
• Make a plan to increase the number of International Masterclasses in the U.S., especially ATLAS.
• Plan coverage of Data and e-Lab workshops for which the group is responsible.
• Update workshop plans and templates, with special emphasis on the CMS e-Lab. - temp URL https://i2u2-dev.crc.nd.edu/elab/cms/
• Start on Level 4 for CMS.

Data Workshop objectives

Participating teachers will be able to:

• 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.

CMS e-Lab Workshop objectives

Participating teaches will be able to:

• Identify particles colliding and emerging from collisions at the LHC from CMS data.
• Interpret the physical meaning of plots created from CMS data in light of conservation rules (energy, momentum, charge).
• Ask and answer questions about the physics of high energy collisions using CMS data. 

LIGO e-Lab Workshop objectives
