In this activity, students use authentic detector data to apply simple 1D kinematics (v=d/t), interpret graphical data, and evaluate measurement uncertainties.

Heisenberg knew that, at the quantum level, we cannot know everything, at least not all at once. Students explore uncertainties in measurements of complimentary variables to find this out for themselves.

Students use conservation laws and vector addition to calculate the Z mass from event displays.

Students use Standard Model rules to build hadrons and mesons from quarks.

Students will compare classical predictions to real-world data to introduce special relativity.

This Cosmic Watch Suite of data activities describes experiments that can be done either at the singles or two-fold rate.

This activity is based on the data analysis used for World Wide Data Day,

This activity provides techniques for guiding students doing an independent research project.

Students discover the rules of particle transformations using transformation diagrams.

Students analyze tracks in a bubble chamber.
