Photons in the Classroom - Astronomy Workshops

1.将物理学带给11-14岁的学生(在最贫困地区的学校和大学入学率低的历史上)：-让他们清楚地了解物理学是什么，在虚拟之旅中展示我们的便携式充气天文馆的空间规模，并打开他们的思维，让他们了解随着物理学越来越高的水平而出现的各种职业。-鼓励学生在普通中等教育证书水平上选修科学，以提高他们在科学和技术科目上的抱负和扩大他们的选择，包括攻读大学学位--鼓励学生参与并认为大学的研究活动与他们自己的生活有关，可以理解，并与在他们自己课堂上教授的国家课程主题相联系。这反过来会使他们对与物理有关的问题和主题产生更积极的兴趣，从而鼓励他们在大学选修物理。-为学校提供科学天文俱乐部的后续资源和材料，以便学生可以独立地探索更深层次的主题，激发他们使用NSO的热情，并从事其他科学追求。为协助学校、教师和中六义工提高他们在物理方面的专业知识，在举办工作坊前，为教师和中六学生举办一次初步的持续进修课程，让他们获得支援和培训：-为国家学校观测站注册，利用学校的国家天文台，以及如何使用相关的分析软件和资源。-提供意见，纳入工作坊和天文俱乐部的设计，以便将学生所涉及的研究和技术与课堂上教授的国家课程主题联系起来。这应该有助于改变学生认为现实世界的科学与学校科学没有联系的趋势。(英国科学教育项目(ROSE)的相关性：研究结果摘要--E.W.Jenkins和R.G.Pell，2006年)--对涉及物理的各种可能的职业的知识，收到一个职业资料包，其中包含有关在大学学习该学科的最新信息，可用作课堂展示，并为其学生提供指导。通过提供外展和公众参与活动的发展、规划、交付和评估方面的培训和经验，让本科生参与和发展他们的学科。

1. To bring physics to 11-14 year olds (in schools in the most deprived areas and a history of low university attendance) by:- Giving them a clear idea of what physics is, demonstrating the scale of space in our portable inflatable Planetarium in a virtual tour and opening their minds to the huge variety of careers which become available as you take physics to higher and higher levels.- Encouraging the pupils to take science as an option at GCSE level in order to raise their aspirations and widen their options in science and technology subjects, including pursuing a university degree.- Encourage the pupils to engage with and consider research activities in the university as relevant to them in their own lives, understandable and linked to the national curriculum topics taught in their own classroom. This in turn should lead to a more active interest in physics related issues and topics, thus encouraging them toward taking physics at university.- Providing a follow on Science Astronomy Club pack of resources and materials for school so pupils can explore the topic to a greater depth independently, enthusing them about the using NSO and engaging in other scientific pursuits.2. To help the schools, teachers and 6th form volunteers to enhance their expertise in physics by hosting a preliminary CPD session for the teachers and 6th form students before workshops where they are supported and trained in:- Setting up registration for the National Schools Observatory (NSO), making use of the NSO in their school and how to use the related analysis software and resources.- Contributing ideas to be included in the design of the workshops and astronomy club so as to link the relevance of the research and technology the pupils relate to, to the national curriculum topics taught in their classroom. This should help change the trend of pupils' opinion that science in the real world is not linked to school science. (The Relevance of Science Education Project (ROSE) in England: a summary of findings - E.W.Jenkins and R.G.Pell 2006)- Knowledge of the variety of possible careers involving physics receiving a careers pack containing up to date information on pursuing the subject at university that can be used as classroom display and to provide guidance for their pupils.3. To involve and develop undergraduate students to be engaged with communicating their subject by providing training and experience in development, planning, delivery and evaluation of outreach and public engagement activities.
