1. Quarknet Seminar Alisa Bredensteiner Endeavour Institute Santa Cruz Institute of Particle Physics Quarknet August 2010

2. What happens when you mix one exuberant teacher…

3. … a group of excited educators…

4. … some really expensive equipment…

5. … and lots of tape?

7. What I have gained from my week at SCIPP A better understanding of Cosmic Rays, particle decay, Supersymmetry and the Multiverse! A great reminder of how incredibly huge I am compared to say a muon. A great reminder of how incredibly tiny I am compared to say a universe. A CRMD The tools to bring ‘real physics’ and cutting edge scientific discovery to my classroom

8. Classroom Application 2 nd and 3 rd year Endeavour students One week introduction and research on Cosmic Rays and muon detection 3 weeks for student developed experiments, analysis, and poster presentation. Future aspirations Collaborative projects (comparison studies, shower studies, etc…) with other schools Introductory Unit with 1 st year students
