UIC QuarkNet Summer 2017 Agenda
Objectives
Participating teachers will be able to:
- Configure a cosmic ray detector appropriately for acquisition of data for calibration and analysis of measurements
- Identify and describe the e-Lab tools available for conducting studies with data collected using a cosmic ray detector
- Create, organize and interpret a data plot to make a claim based on evidence; provide reasoning and identify data limitations
- Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.
