The CD contains linked set of html presentations on symmetry.

All are accessible from the preceeding page. Each presentation is accompanied by a student activity page, which includes questions & activities.

The presentations are directed at senior high school-level students in physics & math. They are intended as an introduction and stimulus for further thinking and discussion, not as an exhaustive text on particle physics, Copernican astronomy, or any other topic.

Anywhere one of these icons appear, it will take you back to the main page.

If large white or blank windows appear on some of the title pages, you need to update your quicktime plugin. These are QuicktimeVR windows, and are worth looking at.

The Strawberry Fields section was optimized on a Mac G3/266Hz. The music should load in quickly and may autostart, or you may need to click the start button on your media player icon. You may want to listen to the audio file directly, which is named Strawberrytiny.wav, in the Strawberryhtml folder. This one audio file contains the guitar,bass, & drums version, followed by the Brass & strings version, followed by the final collage version of the song.

Also included in a separate folder are the original powerpoint presentations upon which the html presentations are based. These were saved in presentation format from Office 98 (Mac).

Also included are a games folder of shareware games which relate directly to the Games presentation, and a fractals folder of sharware fractal programs. These are all Mac software, but similar things exist in plenty for PC. Try www.download.com.

The section on Feyman diagrams was co-authored by Richard Shapiro & James Dann, and edited for appearance by Eric Muhs.

Some pictures in symmetry courtesy of Scientific American.

Topic suggestions on monsters & scaling, fractals, and escher made by Joe Manildi.

Content suggestions on symmetry thanks to Dr. David Dorfan & Dr. Terry Shalk.

The CD was prepared as part of the Physics Seminar for High School Teachers hosted by Dr. Hartmut Sadrozinski, Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Spring, 2000.
