Deliver and embed a series of nuclear physics workshops for 14 - 15 year old (Year 10 KS 4) pupils to enhance the physics curriculum in Merseyside. The interactive workshops will take place in the classroom at a key point in the pupils' science education to motivate them to higher achievement at KS4 (GCSE) and above. There will be a focus on the real world application of nuclear science to open pupils' minds to the possibility of varied physics careers here in the North West and the whole of the UK. Pupils will go through an application process and 30 (representing 10 schools) will attend a 3-day Nuclear Physics Summer School (NPSS) at the newly-built Central Teaching Laboratories to give them an in-depth view of nuclear science, through using cutting-edge experimental equipment and a research project. This will culminate in an Open Morning for participating schools and families with demonstrations and activities aimed at widening the understanding of nuclear science and the career choices available by taking A Level Physics. This sustained interaction with the pupils will motivate pupils and teachers to considering the benefits of continuing in physics education.To deliver nuclear science to 14 - 15 year old (Year 10 KS 4) pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and partner schools by: * embedding 2 interactive workshops into the physics programme. * bringing state-of-the-art equipment including hand held gamma ray detectors into the classroom. * bring homeschooled pupils into the Central Teaching Laboratories for the workshops. * holding a 3-day summer school.To enhance the pupils' understanding of nuclear science through: * hands on experience with state-of-the-art radiation detectors. * nuclear science themed experiments, talks and project held at the new Central Teaching Laboratories, University of Liverpool. * highlighting the relevance of nuclear science research to their everyday lives.To motivate high achievement and encourage pupils to study physics at A Level and continue to beyond A Level by: * giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their own ability in physics inside AND outside of the classroom. * provide an activity that can be included on the UCAS form record of achievement. * providing family with an appreciation of the subject and so that they can understand and support the choice of A Levels. * providing teachers with specialist knowledge on nuclear physics.To widen pupils' appreciation of careers in physics by: * giving pupils "everyday" examples of the use of nuclear science. * supporting careers teachers with up to date information of careers using Nuclear Science (Energy, Medicine etc).

为14 - 15岁（10年级KS 4）的学生提供并嵌入一系列核物理研讨会，以加强默西塞德郡的物理课程。互动研讨会将在教室里举行，在学生的科学教育的一个关键点，以激励他们在KS 4（GCSE）及以上更高的成就。将重点放在核科学的真实的世界应用上，以打开学生的思想，使他们能够在西北部和整个英国从事各种物理学职业。学生将通过申请程序，30名（代表10所学校）将参加在新建的中央教学实验室举行的为期三天的核物理暑期学校（NPSS），通过使用先进的实验设备和研究项目，让他们深入了解核科学。这将在一个开放的早晨达到高潮，为参与的学校和家庭提供示范和活动，旨在扩大对核科学的理解和通过参加A级物理学提供的职业选择。这种与学生的持续互动将激励学生和教师考虑继续接受物理教育的好处。通过以下方式向来自弱势背景和伙伴学校的14 - 15岁（10年级KS 4）学生提供核科学：* 在物理课程中嵌入2个互动研讨会。* 将最先进的设备，包括手持式伽马射线探测器带入教室。* 把在家上学的学生带到中央教学实验室参加讲习班。* 举办为期三天的暑期学校，透过以下活动加强学生对核科学的认识：* 亲身体验先进的辐射探测器。* 在新的中央教学实验室，利物浦大学举行的核科学主题的实验，讲座和项目。* 强调核科学研究与他们日常生活的相关性。通过以下方式激励学生取得高成就，并鼓励学生在A Level学习物理并继续超越A Level：* 让他们有机会在课堂内外展示自己的物理能力。* 提供一个可以包括在UCAS成绩记录表中的活动。* 为家庭提供对该主题的欣赏，以便他们能够理解和支持A Level的选择。 * 为教师提供有关核物理的专业知识，并透过以下方法，扩阔学生对物理事业的认识：* 向学生提供核科学应用的“日常”例子。* 支持职业教师与最新的信息职业使用核科学（能源，医学等）。
