Oklahoma QuarkNet - 2022 Annual Report

After a hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, Masterclasses were back in 2022. This spring OSU held two ATLAS Masterclasses, March 24 and April 30, with participants from three schools. (And we have four events planned for 2023!).
Oklahoma QuarkNet - Annual Report 2021

The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) QuarkNet groups again joined forces for a lively summer QuarkNet Teacher Workshop. This year's workshop was hosted at OU from July 20-22. After a virtual workshop in 2020, it was great to see some familiar faces IN PERSON, and to meet some new QuarkNet participants! We were joined by 5 teachers, 3 of whom were new to QuarkNet, providing a nice balance of experience and enthusiasm. The teachers represented 5 different area high schools, including urban and rural, pub

OU+OSU QuarkNet Annual Report

The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) held a joint 3 day Quarknet workshop at OU on July 17-19, 2019 with eight teachers attending. All teachers had attended at least one previous workshop. The agenda was billed as
1) Day 1, The Past: We discussed subjects from previous workshops including the use of cosmic ray detectors, Quarknet material in the classroom, and an update on new developments in particle physics. Mike Strauss from OU ran the session.
2017 CMS e-Lab Workshop @ OU

July 12-14, 2017
Nielsen Hall Room 203
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.
We will also provide opportunities to engage in critical dialogue among teaching colleagues about what they learn in the workshop.
