Really enjoyed working throught the particle website. I will need to work throught this site several times in order to get the big picture. I think I will also need to make some sort of flow chart on the particles like some of the other people were doing.
The chemistry demonstrations were kind of review as I had a similiar presentation from Dr. Koppang in a previous class. However, it was a good refresher especially the parts about the isotopes and how they relate back to the normal ratios. Still confused some on the last demonstration on the mass spect and liquid chromatograph. I understand the liquid chromatography part but am a little confused on the detector part.
Two more good classroom demonstrations by Phillip and David today. Finding out a puzzle and relating it to particle physics and also the homemade electroscope. Rest of the afternoon was soldering which we are all getting good at!

Glad you are getting a lot of info from this week and from each other. Thanks for your demo, today. Here is a web site that has a bit of info about the discoveries you are learning about.

Sorry I missed the barbecue. Hope it was fun.
