Chromatodatanalysis!
Complex but enjoyable. Opportunities:
1. Pupils are introduced to writing
functions and importing program
libraries.
2. Pupils then proceed to calculation of

the total momentum of a particle and
the relativistic energy that it contains .
3. In the final stage of the task pupils

have to compare the data from CERN to
their calculated value.
Chromodatanalysis!
Data files and instructions The task fits well in other resources
that have been developed by teachers
are all saved in Github. and could be used as a starting point
for data analysis using Python.
