The Cosmic Connection The Berkeley Lab Cosmic Ray Telescope Project We have produced a simple cosmic ray detector that can be built by high school teachers. This detector can be used to measure the rate, energy and direction of cosmic rays. It can also measure how cosmic rays vary with elevation. In addition, it is a valuable tool to teach elementary measurement statistics...

Special March 5 at Berkeley Lab. The [ABC's of Nuclear Science] is a brief introduction to Nuclear Science. We look at Antimatter, Beta rays, Cosmic connection and much more. Visit here and learn about [ radioactivity] - alpha, beta and gamma decay. Find out the difference between fission and fusion. Learn about...

Energys education programs help ensure an adequate supply of scientists, engineers and technicians for energy-related research, production activities, and the transfer of technology. The advancement of science, mathematics and technology education is an essential part of DOE's mission. These links provide information on age-grade and subject matter resources for "energy" to help point students along the path of learning...

Hands-On Universe™ (HOU) is an educational program that enables students to investigate the Universe while applying tools and concepts from science, math, and technology. Using the Internet, HOU participants around the world request observations from an automated telescope, download images from a large image archive, and analyze them with the aid of user-friendly image processing software...

This lesson provides experience with the following concepts and techniques: measurement, data collection, data visualization, data normalization, statistical analysis (correlations, standard deviations), thinking critically about the accuracy of models. Students establish an account in The Home Energy Saver web site and obtain their first printed records predicting their homes energy use and energy saving options...

There are several categories of items available from the Fermilab Education Office. Teachers created these classroom materials as part of Fermilab educational programs...

We have tried to organize the engaged learning pages in the most logical, sequential format. If you are highly skilled with the practice of engaged learning strategies, you may feel comfortable jumping from one page to another. If you are unfamiliar with engaged learning, you will want to follow our sequence to gain the best understanding of the strategy to complete your project in the most effective manner. You will find assignments on many of the pages in this section of the LInC Program. Be certain to check with your facilitator to see which of these assignments you will be responsible for completing. As you work through these pages, you may need Web authoring skills and file transfer skills. Refer to our Technology Home Page for guidance and instruction as you approach the skills you need to learn to complete your project...

Over 50 lesson plans and two full curricula in the Life Science and Earth Science subject areas, from grades 3rd to 12th, are included...
