What is QuarkNet?

QuarkNet connects teachers and students with cutting edge physics research and educational resources.  QuarkNet gets students excited about science and involved in classroom science investigations by getting scientists and teachers working together.

QuarkNet provides a way to work with scientists who have projects at CERN, FermiLab, and other National Laboratories.  QuarkNet also provides a mechanism for teachers to share ideas with other science teachers and to interact with colleagues who have been developing teaching materials to help students learn the latest scientific methods and discoveries.  And QuarkNet provides student activities.  These range from MasterClass, learning to interpret accelerator data, to e-Labs such as experimental studies of the highest known energy particles, cosmic rays.

If you are a student
in a science class or an individual who just wants to better understand the world

access our on-line resources listed on QuarkNet resources  or our student wiki pages.

If you are a teacher
who would like to join a QuarkNet group

select from the location based sites listed below or our faculty wiki pages.

QuarkNet has existing groups at the locations shown on the map.  (Move your mouse over each to identify each site.  Click to gain more information from that site.  Or contact their representative using the e-mail information in the table below.)  The Physics Teacher Education Coalition also has a Google Map of QuarkNet institutions & contacts.  If none of those groups are convenient for you, we are pioneering a virtual QuarkNet group to provide an on-line community.  Check us out!
