EUs:Data are collected using careful measurement and/or observation.Data are organized into charts, tables, and/or plots for data analysis; so doing makes for easier recognition of patterns in the data.Data and its interpretation provide evidence for any claims about experimental results.Reasoning supports evidence-based claims; it is necessary to describe the reasoning used to reach an evidence-based claim.Objectives:Apply classical physics principles to reduce or explain the observations in data investigations.Identify and describe ways that data are organized for determining any patterns that may exist in the data.Create, organize and interpret data plots; make claims based on evidence and provide explanations; identify data limitations.Develop a plan for taking students from their current level of understanding data use to subsequent levels using activities and/or ideas from the workshop.

Inquiry-based learning


Active QuarkNet Centers http://physicsweb.phy.uic.edu/quarknet/mapUS_international.html

Paradigm: a good way to learn science?

Participate in data-based science.

Ask cosmic ray questions.

Marshal a research plan.

Engage hardware and technology.

Analyze realistic, not simulated data.

Share results with collaboration.

"To the Pupil: Read nature in the language of experiment; that is, put your questions, when possible, to nature rather than to persons. Teachers and books may guide you as to the best methods of procedure, but your own hands, eyes, and intellect must acquire the knowledge directly from nature, if you would really know.”

from "Introduction to Physical Science" by A.P. Gage, 1893

DAQ hardware measures:– Light pulse timing.– Ambient temperature.– Atmospheric pressure.

Experiments include:

– Flux studies.

– Time correlation.

– Shielding.

– Particle speed.

– Particle lifetime.

– Altitude attenuation.



Types of Counter Configuration:1) Array shower

Counters distributed2) Stacked flux

Counters spaced on common center

• Determined by type of study• Student defined


NEXT SESSION: Break out into small teams.

Assemble cosmic ray muon detectors.4 counters: one team for each counterComputerDAQ: one teamGeometryGPS: one team

Next Gen Science Standards

5 Misconceptions about Inquiry-Based Learning: 1. Inquiry-Based learning is the application of the "Scientific Method."2. Inquiry-based instruction requires that students generate and pursue their own questions.3. Inquiry-based instruction can take place without attention to science concepts.4. All science should be taught through inquiry-based instruction.5. Inquiry-based instruction can be easily implemented through the use of hands-on activities and educational kits.
