Nuclear Physics Workshops, Summer School and Open Day

交付和嵌入一系列的核物理研讨会，14 - 15岁（10年级k4）的学生，以提高在默西塞德郡的物理课程。互动工作坊将在学生科学教育的关键阶段在教室举行，以激励他们在小学四年级（普通中等教育证书）或以上取得更高的成绩。将重点放在核科学在现实世界中的应用上，以打开学生们的思想，使他们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）将在新建的中央教学实验室参加为期三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。这将在一个开放的上午达到高潮，为参与的学校和家庭提供演示和活动，旨在扩大对核科学的理解，并通过参加A - Level物理提供职业选择。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，向来自贫困家庭和合作学校的14 - 15岁（小学四年级10年级）学生传授核科学知识：*在物理课程中嵌入2个互动讲习班。*将包括手持伽马射线探测器在内的最先进设备带入教室。*把在家上学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。透过*亲身体验最先进的辐射探测器，加深学生对核科学的认识。*在利物浦大学新建的中央教学实验室举行核科学主题实验、讲座和项目。*强调核科学研究与他们日常生活的相关性。激励学生取得优异成绩，鼓励他们在A - Level学习物理，并通过以下方式继续超越A - Level: *让他们有机会在课堂内外展示自己的物理能力。*提供一项可以包含在UCAS成绩记录中的活动。*为家人提供对科目的欣赏，使他们能够理解和支持A - level的选择。*为教师提供核物理方面的专业知识。通过：*向学生提供核科学应用的“日常”例子，拓宽学生对物理事业的认识。*为职业教师提供最新的核科学（能源、医学等）职业信息。

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).
