In this ongoing weekly club, we'll explore a wide variety of topics in particle physics and science research! Topics to be investigated include: 1. New developments in particle physics and astrophysics 2. News about science research and innovative science-based businesses 3. Citizen science projects 4. Award-winning and historically significant physics/science researchers and their work The suggested pre-requisite for this club is the Quantum Frontiers course, or some prior knowledge and familiarity with atoms, molecules & the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The Quantum Frontiers course is listed below (please copy-paste this link into a browser to view): https://outschool.com/classes/quantum-frontiers-dark-matter-dark-energy-antimatter-and-the-standard-model-of-p-6XA2l5Tl#us9fIT1FTd Each club session will have a specified curriculum, plus there will be time for student discussion and sharing of student interests. There are a total of 26 unique class sessions, described below. This club aims to create a community of young learners excited to discuss and explore physics/science concepts! Course topics are listed below: Club Schedule - Presentation Topics Session 1 - The new James Webb Space Telescope - Mission to Uranus and Neptune to find Dark Matter? Session 2 - New developments in understanding the Higgs particle - College students develop a new way to recycle PVC Session 3 - Transparent Solar Cell technology - Ubiquitous Technology - Citizen Science Project: Solar Jet Hunter Session 4 - Introduction to the Graviton (a proposed but unproven gravity particle) and String Theory - Exploring Electron Scanning Microscopes Session 5 - Review of the 4 fundamental forces of the universe (Gravity, Electromagnetic Force, Strong Force, Weak Force) - Dwarf Stars: red, yellow, brown and white. Session 6 - Exploring Black Holes: definitions, origins and types - Time allowing: Research atomic elements of the Periodic Table Session 7 - Review of the Electromagnetic Force and modern inventions utilizing it - Discuss a new Electric Motor design by a 17 year old student inventor Session 8 - Exploration of Radioactivity: Alpha Particles, Beta Particles and Gamma Rays - Discussion about Carbon Dating Session 9 - Explore spectroscopy and spectrometers - Learn about the history of the Periodic Table and the use of spectroscopy to identify elements - Learn about the uses of spectroscopy in astrophysics (to identify elements on different planets and stars), in science research and in products (like the Apple Watch) Session 10 - Citizen Science Project: Galaxy Zoo - help categorize images of distant galaxies - Webb Telescope images Session 11 - Exploring Wormholes, Black Holes and Einstein's General Theory of Relativity Session 12 - The Discovery of Graphene, the first 2-dimensional material to be manufactured - New developments in other 2-dimensional materials Session 13 - NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) Mission - Near-Earth Objects and how NASA tracks them Session 14 - Circular Economy concepts; Linear Economy compared to Circular Economy - Examples of Circular Economy products and processes; students brainstorm ideas for Circular products Session 15 - Nobel Prize Winners in Physics 2022 - The first photon entanglement experiments - Concepts of quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation; discuss the fields of quantum information science & quantum computing Session 16 - Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry 2022 - Click Chemistry & Bioorthogonal Reactions innovations Session 17 - The Earthshot Prize and latest winners - Innovations in restoring the environment and protecting the planet Session 18 - The Invention Convention - Exploring inventions made by young inventors Session 19 - NASA New Study: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - Scientists begin developing framework for evaluation Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Session 20 - NASA Lucy Mission to the Trojan Asteroids - Earth gravity assist Session 21 - The SMASH Theory of Particle Physics - Research to possibly expand The Standard Model of Particle Physics Session 22 - Concept of Biomimicry - Amazing inventions influenced by nature's design and processes Session 23 - Using Quantum Computers to research quantum interactions - Using Quantum Computers to simulate a wormhole Session 24 - Exploring Gravity: Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation & Einstein's General Theory of Relativity Session 25 - Student presentations on self-selected physics topics (participation optional) - Exploring NASA's Kennedy Space Center and teacher's research project Session 26 - The search for habitable planets
