This Cosmic Watch Suite of data activities describes experiments that can be done either at the singles or two-fold rate.

This activity is based on the data analysis used for World Wide Data Day,

This activity provides techniques for guiding students doing an independent research project.

Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.

Students analyze tracks in a bubble chamber.

Students analyze tracks in a cloud chamber.

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.

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

Heisenberg knew that, at the quantum level, we cannot know everything, at least not all at once. Students explore uncertainties in measurements of complimentary variables to find this out for themselves.

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