Teaching Modern Physics - QuarkNet - Fermilab

Dear Colleague:
Thank you for taking this opportunity to look through this collection of educational materials.
The goal of QuarkNet is to get more modern physics into the high school classroom. Our group
realizes that with all the topics a typical teacher needs to cover in a given year, sometimes
reaching modern physics is a difficult task. We took that in mind as we created this packet. We
have offered a variety of worksheets, activities, labs, and lesson plans that a teacher can use
throughout the year, but incorporate modern physics. We have also included some complete
plans for modern physics units that would be good for the end of the year.
While these activities have been tested in our own classrooms, we welcome input from you. We
would like to know what works, what doesn’t, and how we can improve our product. Please
complete the survey below and return it through the mail or by e-mail by June 15, 2007. Even if
you’ve only used one idea, your input will be of value to us. Thank you in advance for all your
help; your insights will help enhance this collection of educational materials and along the way
will educate more of our youth about modern physics!
