What happens when you mix one exuberant teacher…

… a group of excited
educators…

… some really expensive equipment…

… and lots of tape?

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

Classroom Application2nd and 3rd 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 1st year students
