2017 Cosmic Ray Workshop @ Washington
August 16-18, 2017
Physics & Astronomy Building (PAB) B248
“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.”
Objectives
Participating teachers will be able to:
- Configure a cosmic ray detector appropriately for acquisition of data for calibration and analysis of measurements.
- Identify and describe the e-Lab tools available for conducting studies with data collected using a cosmic ray detector.
- Create, organize and interpret a data plot to make a claim based on evidence; provide reasoning and 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.
