<h2>Particle physics data in your classroom?</h2>
<p>This site provides information and educational materials intended to provide high-school physics students with an in-depth, hands-on interactive experience with real high-energy particle physics. The materials contained inside should be suitable for a 1-2 weeks module on particle physics as it's done by professional scientists.</p>
<p >You can trust us: this project was developed by a collaboration of high school teachers and research physicists using data from the <a href="http://minerva.fnal.gov/">MINERvA</a> experiment. MINERvA is the name of an experiment at <a href="http://www.fnal.gov">Fermilab</a> that is collecting data on how <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino">neutrinos</a> interact with matter. </p>
<p >The science is real, and it works in the classroom. You don't have to be Einstein to do particle physics!</p>
<p >Our goal? To show your students how real scientists creatively solve problems and explore the unseen world of fundamental particles. </p>

<!-- <div class='content' id="FIXME"> -->
<!-- <h2>Work in progress... Remaining problems on this site.</h2>
<ol>
<li> Review and re-edit the Teacher's guide, e.g. Remove italian foods from teacher's guide </li>
<li> Find relativity instructional documentation </li>
<li> Build the relativistic momentum activity </li>
<li> QA testing. </li> -->
</ol>

<li><strike>Nathaniel: Particle sample event doesn't work'</strike></li>
<li><strike>Nathaniel: Sample event in muon decay doesn't work.</strike></li>
<li><strike>move radioactive decay concepts to particle decay page</strike></li>
<li><strike>Concepts/Measuring what you cannot see/How do muons and beta rays appear in MINERvA? - NO idea what this is supposed to refer to. No section of the teacher's guide seems appropriate. - remove; redudant with zoo</strike></li>
<li><strike>Concepts/Decay/"A Measurement of Muon Half Life using CHICOS Particle Detectors", Bob Gates et alia. This document no longer exists, nor does the project website on which it was based. (Incidentally, I built a 3rd-year undergraduate experiment that measured this for about $400 in equipment. Is this really a useful link in this context?) - Yup, gotta kill this</strike></li>
<li><strike>Concepts/Minerva in Depth</strike><ul>
<li><strike>No idea what this is: "Kevin McFarland's Neutrino Talk for Students (ppt)" Neutrinos in the big picture…from the Big Bang to the Standard Model - sent by Kevin in email march 2014</strike></li>
<li><strike>No idea what this is: "Technical details of the MINERvA detector and beam" Could be the from-birth-to-death? But that's linked elsewhere. - Redundant - remove.</strike></li>

<li>"Need to develop this activity": Relativity /Use Arachne to examine the correlations between speed, momentum and kinetic energy for muons and for protons - move to mom'm, but still need</li>
</ol>
<h3>FIXME: Actual exercises</h3>
<ul>
<li><strike> Fix up the momentum conservation activity with links. Teacher's guide links are bad!
See fourth email from Kevin on March 13,2014. Change link address from data_processing to the /minerva/data/users/outreach/outreach directory for each link. Group into 10 groups, make 10 links from the minerva-classroom page</strike></li>
<li> <strike>Fix up muon decay for new links. Just put then in the teacher's doc? Or remove them, and make a new html doc linked to from this page? Are the 6576 docs correct? -- Answer: yes, redundant link from Kevin sent march 13, 2014. Need to adjust all the links though.</strike></li>
