Lesson Context

 

This lesson is designed to be an introduction to a first year physics class.  The school will have a cosmic ray telescope built by students from that school as a part of the Counting Cosmics 2001 project.  The telescope will be used for cosmic ray inquiry and will be used through out the school year as a research connection with the content areas of a first year physics class.  This lesson will focus on cosmic rays, students doing real physics,  display and analysis of cosmic ray counts made by their cosmic ray telescope.
