项目摘要

Nuclear Physics is crucial in many branches of medicine and for power generation, as well as being a large area of fundamental research. However, it often has negative connotations and the subject is not well understood. The present project aims to use a hands-on LEGO activity to engage school students and teachers with the underlying principles of nuclear physics and to allow them to discover how these fundamental properties of matter lead to the development of applications. By demonstrating the links between Nuclear Physics and areas such as astrophysics, fusion and fission energy, medicine, and accelerator technologies, the project aims to inspire a new generation of nuclear physicists. Teachers and school students will be introduced to the topic by active STFC researchers, who will be trained in public engagement to allow them to communicate their research effectively to non-specialists. A high researcher to student/teacher ratio will ensure that all participants will have the opportunity to speak to a researcher on an individual basis, and thus learn first-hand what modern nuclear research entails. The opportunity for students, in particular, to meet current researchers and find out about cutting edge science aims to both dispel myths and encourage the students to continue to study Physics to a higher level. Teacher workshops will be developed and delivered in association with the National Science Learning Centre and, in addition to being curriculum linked, will include current developments in the field and will highlight the role of STFC facilities, including CERN-ISOLDE, GSI-FAIR, GANIL-SPIRAL2, and GAIA. The project will initially run as a pilot project and has the potential to be expanded into a national programme for teachers, with resource kits (including the LEGO) available on loan.

核物理在医学和发电的许多分支中都是至关重要的，也是一个很大的基础研究领域。然而，它往往有负面的含义，主题没有得到很好的理解。本项目旨在利用实际操作的乐高积木活动，让在校学生和教师了解核物理的基本原理，并使他们能够发现物质的这些基本性质如何导致应用的发展。通过展示核物理与天体物理、聚变和裂变能源、医学和加速器技术等领域的联系，该项目旨在激励新一代核物理学家。教师和在校学生将由活跃的STFC研究人员介绍这一主题，他们将接受公共参与方面的培训，使他们能够有效地与非专业人员交流他们的研究。高的研究人员与学生/教师比例将确保所有参与者都有机会以个人身份与研究人员交谈，从而第一手了解现代核研究需要什么。特别是让学生有机会结识当前的研究人员，了解尖端科学，目的既是为了消除神话，也是为了鼓励学生继续学习更高水平的物理。将与国家科学学习中心合作开发和举办教师讲习班，除了与课程挂钩外，还将包括该领域的最新发展，并将突出STFC设施的作用，包括CERN-ISolde、GSI-FIRE、GANIL-SPIRAL2和GAIA。该项目最初将作为一个试点项目运行，并有可能扩大为国家教师方案，并可借出资源包(包括乐高积木)。
