Standard Model

Clone of Shuffling the Particle Deck

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.

Clone of The Case of the Hidden Neutrino Momentum Activity

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

The Case of the Hidden Neutrino

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

Particle Transformations

Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.

Making Tracks II

Students analyze tracks in a bubble chamber.

Making Tracks I

Students analyze tracks in a cloud chamber.

Z Mass Spreadsheet Extension

Students use spreadsheet coding to determine the Z Mass for a large data set.

The Case of the Hidden Neutrino

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

Quark Workbench 2D/3D

Students use Standard Model rules to build hadrons and mesons from quarks.
