Objectives

Apply physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations.
Examine simulated and experimental data. Identify patterns within the data and consider the causes of those patterns.
Create, organize and interpret data plots; make claims based on evidence and provide explanations; 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.

Registration https://forms.gle/FZs2cPoN2SAr2Ur87
- (teachers can indicate if they need a QuarkNet account)
  - create or revisit QuarkNet website account (this is done manually by the QN fellows, so it may take a day)
Update profile on QuarkNet.org
- Update personal profiles on the website with this guide - by everyone. (Tiny URL - http://tinyurl.com/qn15prfl.)
- For teachers with (a) cosmic ray detector(s), please enter or confirm your DAQ number.
- All teachers and mentors must be members of the QuarkNet website and members of their center group on the site. They must keep their information on the site current and know how to find their group.
Activity Survey
- Complete Teacher Survey or Teacher Survey Update (Required for all teachers.)
- Teachers must complete one of the following.
  - If a teacher completed the Full Teacher Survey anytime in 2023, then complete the UPDATE: 2024 Teacher Survey (once during 2024).
    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JNRN6BD Plan for ~6 minutes here.
    - OR...Spanish version of Update Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JNP67QJ
  - If a teacher did NOT complete the Full Teacher Survey anytime in 2023, then complete The Full Teacher Survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G8P3C8R We ask that an individual teacher complete this only once in 2024. Plan for ~15-20 minutes here.
Sharing contact information (optional)
- If you are interested in sharing contact information with your colleagues in the workshop, please use this spreadsheet.
