How to teach to students

Curriculum clasroom connection

  • Laboratory analysis
  • Data analysis
  • Mathematics

Key ideas

Best practice examples

Gambling at CERN

Uncovering a cheater and discovering the Higgs.

  • Understanding of the lenses that data can be looked at with. The lens (statistics/mathematics) with which we chose to look at the data affects how we see the data.
  • Filtering: Separating data from background data.
  • Does data fit prediction model?

Dice vs. Higgs

Dark ideas :-)

16 events

  • Physical data to Mathematical data and converting data which comes out of the detector into mathematical models.
  • Using models to explain physical world.

Conceptions & Challenges

  • Unlikely things do not occur.
  • Comparing prediction to experimental results.
  • Data fitting.
  • Interpreting plots.

Helpful material and resources

  • CERN Masterclass program
  • Open CMS data workshop in Phyton

Iceberg revealed :-)
