Students will choose a topic in modern physics to research. First, they will read about the topic, annotate one or more articles about it, and then write a summary of the article(s). Second, they will create and deliver a five-minute presentation.
Each class during the project, Mike will present about an experimental modern physics facility that is operating today:
