This workshop will leverage cosmic ray muons to bring inquiry-based investigations into the classroom, providing a context for teaching topics like kinematics, relativity, and half-life/lifetime. Participants will collect real-time muon data, and explore classroom-ready investigations from the QuarkNet Data Activities Portfolio. The session will conclude with a discussion on practical classroom implementation strategies across different physics levels.

Register for this activity through the online application for the associated Teachers' Conference, "Cosmic Rays: From Their Birth Sites in Supernovae to Shaping Entire Galaxies".
