NGSS 6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions
Cosmic Watch Lab Suite
This Cosmic Watch Suite of data activities describes experiments that can be done either at the singles or two-fold rate.
Angles and Dimuons
This activity is based on the data analysis used for World Wide Data Day,
Research Using Coding
This activity provides techniques for guiding students doing an independent research project.
Particle Transformations
Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.
CMS Masterclass WZH-path
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.
Z Mass Spreadsheet Extension
Students use spreadsheet coding to determine the Z Mass for a large data set.
What Heisenberg Knew
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.
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.
