You may peruse the survey data here so you can reach out to folks for collaboration in Affinity Groups

Affinity Group work time: group yourselves based on the survey information.

• Try a few of the activities from the Data Portfolio with your group. We highly recommend the following if you’ve never tried them, and we have the needed materials for them:

  • Rolling with Rutherford: Roll marbles to simulate the gold foil experiment. Enter your results in this Google Form

  • Mass of the Top Quark: use historical data from Fermilab’s amazing discovery of the top quark, along with conservation of momentum in 2 dimensions and conservation of energy, to reconstruct the top quark’s mass.

  • Penny histograms: an open-ended inquiry exercise in which students use a histogram to uncover and interpret patterns in the masses of various U.S. pennies.

Here is a link to the particle cards template. Both also live in the “Resources” subfolder of “Camp Participant Resources” on the Drive.
