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 4 年级）学生举办并举办一系列核物理研讨会，以加强默西塞德郡的物理课程。互动研讨会将在学生科学教育的关键时刻在课堂上举行，以激励他们在第四学段（GCSE）及以上取得更高的成绩。将重点关注核科学在现实世界中的应用，以打开学生的思维，让他们了解在西北地区和整个英国从事各种物理职业的可能性。学生将通过申请程序，30名学生（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3天的核物理暑期学校（NPSS），通过使用尖端的实验设备和研究项目，让他们深入了解核科学。此次活动的高潮将是为参与学校和家庭举办的开放上午活动，其中包括演示和活动，旨在扩大对核科学的理解以及通过学习 A Level 物理可实现的职业选择。这种与学生的持续互动将激励学生和教师考虑继续物理教育的好处。 通过以下方式向来自弱势背景的 14 - 15 岁（10 年级 4 年级）学生和合作学校传授核科学： * 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。 * 将在家接受教育的学生带到中央教学实验室参加研讨会。 * 举办为期 3 天的暑期学校。通过以下方式增强学生对核科学的理解： * 亲身体验最先进的辐射探测器。 * 在利物浦大学新中央教学实验室举行的核科学主题实验、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学习 A Level 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。 * 提供可包含在 UCAS 成绩记录表中的活动。 * 让家人了解该科目，以便他们能够理解和支持 A Level 的选择。 * 为教师提供核物理学方面的专业知识。通过以下方式扩大学生对物理学职业的认识： * 为学生提供“日常”使用核科学的例子。 * 为职业教师提供使用核科学（能源、医学等）的最新职业信息支持。
