Target: Physics (Gr. 10)
Room # - 324 KTL Ref: AM-S1.01
How does light form images? Plan with a wide variety of hands-on activities using cheap materials to illustrate the different ways
images can form. Explore teaching techniques that promote small group discussions for deeper understanding of each activity.
Teachers will be provided with all the information they need to incorporate these activities into their own classrooms.

Wave or particle? Learn about a wide-variety of activities to make both the wave and quantum models come alive. Make a variable
single-slit and observe Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle in action. Play with 3-D glasses and use these to understand quantum
cryptography. Learn how to make a quantum eraser and use it to learn about entanglement. Learn how to play Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe
to understand how a quantum computer works. Copies of Perimeter Institute’s resource ”The Challenge of Quantum Reality” which
contains a 30-minute video, teachers guide and student activities will be available.

Be a bubble chamber detective: use classical physics to deduce what particles were produced in a hydrogen bubble chamber.
Tame the particle zoo: use a simple set of rules to logically arrange the elementary particles in a table. Find top quark:
use Fermilab’s original data to deduce the energy level of the heaviest quark. See how easy it can be to do with your students!
All participants will receive a free DVD and Teacher’s Guide from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
