  1. Advisory Board 2002 Years 3 and 4 at Centers Andria Erzberger Staff Teacher, LBNL

  2. Years 3 and 4 at Sites What Teachers Have Done • Built & experimented with cosmic ray detectors • Built & experimented with accelerator analogies • Other experiments • Tried/shared classroom activities • Explored related topics • Increased collaborations

  3. Years 3 and 4 at Sites What Students Have Done • Classroom activities • Experiments • Online data • Symposia • Summer experiments

  4. What Teachers Have Done Cosmic Ray Detectors • U. Illinois at Chicago Sears Tower, interference problem • U. Oklahoma 2 kinds • U. California - Riverside 2 kinds • U. Texas - Arlington $30,000 & 3 schools

  5. What Teachers Have Done Other Detectors • U. Penn drift chambers & coincidence • Notre Dame drift chambers • Boston Notre Dame’s c.r.d. • Iowa room of cloud chambers U. Penn Iowa

  6. What Teachers Have Done Accelerators • Hampton U. - SMU’s compressed air - Hampton’s cookie collider • Notre Dame - SMU’s compressed air - SMU’s electromagnetic SMU’s electromagnetic accelerator SMU’s “jawbreaker” accelerator

  7. What Teachers Have Done Other Experiments • BNL & Stony Brook measured g-2 of m • U. California - Santa Cruz balloon experiments • “Modern” physics labs BNL & Stony Brook U.California - Santa Cruz Hampton U.

  8. What Teachers Have Done Tried/Shared Classroom Activities - Many Centers • Online data analysis - Run II - FNAL cosmic ray data • Exponential decay of beer foam • Tethered balloon experiments • CERN CD • Expansion of universe - from star maps - from Perlmutter data Kansas U. SMU

  9. What Teachers Have Done Explored Related Topics • SMU pseudoscience • U. Texas - Arlington cosmology/astrophysics • Several n oscillations SMU

  10. What Teachers Have Done Increased Collaborations • Added participants • Hampton & Zambia • Helped other centers U. Penn, SMU, Florida State • APS-DPF Day • National/Regional talks Texas Tech U. California - Riverside Eric Muhs to Antarctica Modeling CHICOS, WALTA, NY c.r.d. TEA in Antarctica Hampton U.

  11. What Students Have Done Classroom Activities • Experiments with detectors • Experiments with accelerators - oscilloscope with PMT signals Web resources: Particle Adventure, . . . Field trips, talks

  12. What Students Have Done Analyzing Data • Online data - cosmic ray data - Run II - Z’s Run II • Data - n oscillations - accelerating universe - bubble chamber photos

  13. What Students Have Done Symposia • U. Washington in June • U. Rochester PARTICLE Day (Physicists & Teachers Inventing Classroom Experiments) • U. California - Santa Cruz Balloon Day, March 2003 • APS-DPF Day U. Rochester U. California - Santa Cruz

  14. What Students Have Done Summer Experiments • U. California - Riverside built c.r.d. at Cal Tech • Iowa State 3 students tested PMTs for CMS & created database of 25 parameters. • Indiana U. New student groups improved c.r.d. • Notre Dame Students constructed light wave guides. Indiana U. students Notre Dame
