Students use momentum conservation to examine the decay of top-antitop pairs to determine what is missing from the event.

Rolling dice serves as the model for decaying particles.

In this introductory tutorial that, students learn about how to distinguish muon signals from background and instrumental noise.

Students analyze signals and noise first in audio and video forms and then look at signals and noise from physics measurements.

Students explore some basics of magnetic fields that can be related to experimental particle physics.

Students measure the effects of electric and magnetic fields on particles. 

Teams of students organize cards depicting fundamental particles based on their characteristics. This activity is a foundation for learning about the Standard Model and parallels the methods used by scientists to organize the elements into the period table.

Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to learn how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.
