NGSS 8: Obtaining, evaluating and communicating information
Signal and Noise: The Basics
Students analyze signals and noise first in audio and video forms and then look at signals and noise from physics measurements.
Making it ‘Round the Bend - Quantitative
Students measure the effects of electric and magnetic fields on particles.
CMS Masterclass J/Psi
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.
ATLAS W-path Masterclass
Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physicists to how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.
Mean Lifetime Part 2: Cosmic Muons
Students learn how physicists measure muon lifetime.
ATLAS Data Express
ATLAS Data Express is a short investigation in which students inspect and characterize Z events in the LHC and distinguish muons from electrons.
Dice, Histograms & Probability
Students roll dice, record the resulting individual values as well as the sum of the values, create histograms of the data and develop insight into the concept of “degrees of freedom."
TOTEM 2
Use quantum physics and LHC data to estimate the size of the proton.
CMS Data Express
CMS Data Express is a short investigation in which students inspect and characterize W or Z events from the LHC.
ATLAS Z-path Masterclass
Students are physicists for a day at a university or lab where they work with physiists to how to analyze real particle physics data in the form of event displays.
