Teacher and Student Immersion in Physics Research is Important.
QuarkNet is a national program that partners high school teachers and students with particle physicists working on experiments in hadron collider physics. AAPT, January Margaret A. Jensen, D.E. Gavit H.S. and Notre Dame QuarkNet Center
5
Working in close association with practitioners, teachers and students become immersed in the process of scientific research as it is actually performed, rather than being observers on the sidelines. AAPT, January Margaret A. Jensen, D.E. Gavit H.S. and Notre Dame QuarkNet Center
