The chart was distributed in The Physics Teacher magazine (March 2003 issue). You may see this chart and print it from: http://UniverseAdventure.org/ We can also send you a chart if you intend to field-test it in your classroom. Please send email to us at cpepeduc@cpepweb.org . As with our previous charts (seen at http://CPEPweb.org), we are doing an extensive field test to determine how to improve this chart before printing large numbers of charts. The field-test forms are web-forms that can be filled out at: http://UniverseAdventure.org/fieldtest.html We sincerely hope you will test the chart in your classroom and take a few minutes to report to us on your experience with it. Thank you very much.

The workshop, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will consist of lectures by prominent researchers on modern particle and nuclear physics, together with an introduction to Quark Matter. We have selected speakers who are known for their ability to communicate science to non-experts. Following the lectures there will be a round table discussion with current and recently graduated students attending the conference, to discuss their science education and their day-to-day experiences as scientists. We invite the teachers workshop attendees to the opening reception of the Quark Matter conference on Sunday evening. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is hosting Quark Matter 2004, http://qm2004.lbl.gov/, a large international physics conference, on January 11-18, 2004, at the Oakland Marriott City Center. This conference attracts leading researchers from around the world, who will present experimental results and theoretical work discussing the state of matter at a trillion degrees. Matter at such enormous temperatures existed about 10 microseconds after the Big Bang and may be present today in a neutron star's core. Perhaps we are creating it in laboratory experiments. The program, which includes ample time for discussion, is: 12:00 pm Open for registration 12:30 pm Lunch for all participants 1:30 pm Workshop * From the Greek elements to modern physics ? Horst Stocker, Professor of Physics, University of Frankfurt, Germany * How accelerators and particle detectors work ? Carl Gagliardi, Professor of Physics, Texas A & M University * Particles, nuclei and the cosmos ? Gary Westfall, Professor of Physics, Michigan State University * The nucleus at a trillion degrees - David Morrison, Staff Scientist, Brookhaven National Laboratory * Round table discussion with graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s 5:00 pm Program concludes 6:30 pm Quark Matter reception We invite all Bay Area high school and community college science teachers who are interested in this workshop to attend. Each teacher who attends may invite one or two students whom he/she feels will benefit from this program. Please feel free to forward a copy of this invitation to interested colleagues. Please register early as there are a limited number of spaces. All participants, including invited students, must register at the conference web site http://www.lbl.gov/nsd/qm2004/Teacher.html by January 2. The first 50 teachers who register and attend will receive an honorarium to cover transportation expenses. We will distribute educational material on Nuclear Physics that you can use in your classroom and provide a CD-ROM of the presentations. If you need more information, please contact us. We look forward to seeing you and your students in January. Howard Matis Workshop Coordinator -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
