Outline For My Quantum Physics Project

So now that we are getting closer to the presentation day for our senior projects, I am starting to condense and pick out all of the topics that I will discuss during my ten minutes of speech.  I will include most of the topics that I have already introduced in my blog as well as some that are yet to come.  Topics include: Quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling, uncertainty principle, Schrödinger's cat, etc... Down below I will include a more structured outline of what exactly I will be talking about and in what order they will be discussed in. Also, I am trying to think of a creative way to start my presentation up. So far, I'm thinking about starting it with a small demonstration but we will see. Anyways, here is my outline so far

1. Introduce Quantum Mechanics
    - start on quantum entanglement
    - entanglement activity
2. Uncertainty Principle
    - Schrödinger's cat demonstration
    - discuss the reasoning behind quantum superposition
    - lead into the double-slit experiment
3. Double-Slit Experiment
    - predetermined outcomes
    - lead into parallel worlds
    - many worlds theory
4. The future of quantum physics
    - current plans (Hadron Collider)
    - possibilities (quantum computing)
    - broad concepts (quantum tunneling and black holes.)
5. Questions
6. Ending statement. Thank you

  1. Ahhh, the cat. Please play the cartoon as you explain with no sound!
