A Physics MOSAIC:
Scientific Skills and Explorations for Students
Acknowledgements
This work would not have been possible without the funding and support of the National Science
Foundation (NSF). The opportunity to spend time in a community of scientists has been both
professionally and personally rewarding, and the benefits for our teaching and our students’
learning are indisputable. We feel lucky to have had the chance to this work.
We are very grateful to everyone at Haystack for welcoming and supporting us in our work. We
appreciate the time everyone made to help us by answering our questions, reviewing our
materials, and giving us good ideas for projects. The number of staff who made valuable and
memorable contributions to our project is too large to thank everyone individually, but we both
noticed and appreciated the interest everyone took in our work. In particular, we’d like to thank
• Madeleine Needles
• Phil Erickson
• Vincent Fish
• Alan Rogers
• Richard Crowley
• REU Students and Interns
• RET 2009: Dan Costa and Jessie Cadigan
• RET 2011: Vincent Ciarametaro and Kathryn Haughn
Finally, we appreciate the support of our own schools and students for being willing to test out
these lessons and projects in the coming year.
