Description
The QuarkNet Collaboration is a long‐term, national program that partners high school science teachers with particle physicists working in experiments at the scientific frontier.

 

A professional development program, QuarkNet immerses teachers in authentic physics research and seeks to engage them in the development of instructional strategies and best practices that facilitate the implementation of these principles in their classrooms.
