QuarkNet brings high school students and teachers to the frontier of 21st century research that seeks to resolve some of the mysteries about the structure of matter and the fundamental forces of nature.

 Physicists will mentor and collaborate with high school teachers. Through these collaborations: 
  • Students will learn fundamental physics as they analyze live online data and participate in inquiry-oriented investigations.

    •  

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

  • Teachers will join research teams with physicists at a local university or laboratory.
