Physics/ Chemistry/ Physical Science

  • The “Dice, Histograms, and Probability” activity supports student data collection, graphing, and analysis skills. This can also be applied for radioactive decay.
  • After introducing subatomic particles and quarks, the “Shuffling the Particle Deck” data activity is a great way to introduce the standard model.
  • As a possible extension activity, students could be placed into groups and have them research different neutrino experiments such as ATLAS, NOvA, DUNE, MINERva, LHC, etc. being conducted around the world.
  • For high school physics students, the “Case of the Missing Neutrino” activity is a great application of conservation laws to a more interesting situation than two carts on a track.

Group 5

​

Paul Gilmore - I plan on using the muon detector to collect data and show to my astronomy students. For my Physical Science students, I will use the data collected from the detector for basic graphing of information. It was also very helpful to get the latest information on Neutrino experiments as well as updates on Dark Matter research. I learned a lot about Dark Photons this meeting.

Steven Ferguson - I am going to start making use of the stuff in the quarknet data activities portfolio. The dice and histograms and probability activity will be really useful for helping physics students understand how averages work out over time.

Kevin Warren - The physics students will use a dice roller to show the distribution of data. I also liked the use Replit in place of some of the software that is available to me at my school. This was shown to me by Jessica.
