Students create and interpret a histogram of penny masses.

Students have an opportunity to learn how to analyze data to calibrate the CMS detector and participate in discovery science (as particle physicists do).

Students use statistics to make an indirect measurement they can easily confirm.

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

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

Students experience the excitement of scientific collaboration in this series of investigations into high-energy cosmic rays.

Students use conservation laws and vector addition to calculate the top mass from event displays.

Students use conservation laws and vector addition to calculate the Z mass from event displays.
