	Who developed these exercises? Why did we develop these exercises? Who you may contact with questions or for help? Who developed the Arachne Event Display?

	"Neutrinos in the Classroom" was developed by a collaboration of high school teachers and research physicists from the MINERvA experiment: Mr. Paul Conrow, East High School, Rochester, New York. Prof. Richard Gran, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Minnesota. Ms. Carol Hoffman, Hilton Central School District, Hilton, New York. Ms. Jackie Kitchenhoff, Northland High School, Remer, Minnesota. Prof. Kevin McFarland, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. Ms. Margie Menzies, Harbor City International School, Duluth, Minnesota. Mr. Jeffrey Paradis, Rush-Henrietta Central School District, Henrietta, New York. Ms. Laurie Peslak, Rush-Henrietta Central School District, Henrietta, New York. Mr. Paul Sedita, Canadaigua Academy, Canadaigua, New York. Prof. Nathaniel Tagg, Otterbein University, Westerville, Ohio.		For help with this material, to arrange a meeting between physicists and your classroom over video link, or to give us feedback on these exercises, please send email to: minerva-classroom@fnal.gov This list is staffed by volunteers, mostly the developers of this material, so please be patient with us, and we'll try to help you as soon as we can!

	The concept for this project came out of discussions between high school teachers looking for a way to use particle physics data for laboratory exercises in the classroom, and MINERvA physicists who had developed the powerful Arachne event display and were interested in how it might bring MINERvA's data and physics mission to a wider audience. It is our hope that while learning the basic physics concepts behind these exercises that students will share in some of the excitement of research in particle physics. We are eager to learn about outcomes of these exercises in your classroom; please contact us and let us know what you think of our work.		Arachne: The MINERvA Event Display
