Goals
• Students as researchers
• Teachers as researchers & facilitators
• Scientists as mentors

Classroom Vision
Science is what students DO,
not what is done to them.
School science should reflect the practice of science and should allow students to be
active participants.

QuarkNet . . .
• Supports learning by inquiry.
• Provides teachers and students with real
research opportunities in particle physics.
• Encourages national and international
collaboration among students, teachers and
scientists.

Multi-Year Program
For each center:For each center: Year 1• 2 lead teachers, 2 mentors• 8 weeks research
Year 2 • 2 lead teachers, 2 mentors• 8-10 associate teachers• 2- to 3-week workshop
Years 3, 4, 5, . . . • All in 1-week workshop• OR meetings spread out over the year

Teacher Support
Year 1 (2 lead teachers)
• 8 weeks + travel + subsistence
Year 2 (6 teachers on average)
• 2-3 weeks
Year 3, . . .
• 1 week

Teachers as Researchers
• Construct and test detector components.
• Create data sets for students.
• Develop online experiments for students.
• Develop classroom detectors.

A taste of a succulent future InvaluableExperienceAstounded by the beauty &
simplicity of the particlesthat define our existence
Continually challenged me
Too much fun
