Science Hands - Exploring antimatter with audible pendulums for school kids

科学之手的使命是使物理研究更平易近人的孩子在学年10/11决定对他们的A级选择。在学校参观中，一个专门的桌面实验，包括耦合双腔，将激发他们的好奇心，探索它的运动。这是物质-反物质振荡的机械模拟，将使他们能够以一种有趣的方式探索粒子物理学的一个方面。该项目的目标是通过与一群最近成立了曼彻斯特粒子物理研究协会的热情本科生合作，最大限度地接近学生。一组拟议测量的结果将集中收集，以便让项目访问的所有学校的孩子能够比较他们的结果，并促进大规模合作。通过发布建造指南和背景信息，任何有兴趣的人都可以参与进来，并为这一合作做出贡献。身体障碍儿童由于自身条件的限制，往往不愿选择科学载体，因此，帮助他们充分体验科学并发挥潜力至关重要。因此，科学之手的目标之一是探索通过有针对性地增加外展材料，如将机械运动转化为声音的装置，以帮助视障人士，从而将这一受众包括在内的可能性。还将积极鼓励两性平等，在每次学校访问中，男女学生代表人数相等。

The mission of SCIENCE HANDS is to make physics research more approachable for children in the school years 10/11 deciding towards their A-level choices. In school visits, a dedicated table-top experiment, consisting of coupled double-pendulums, will spark their curiosity to explore its movements. This being the mechanical analogue of matter-antimatter oscillations will allow them to explore an aspect of particle physics in a playful way. The project's aim is to be maximally approachable for school children by working with a group of enthusiastic undergraduate students who have recently founded the Manchester Particle Physics Research Society.The results of a set of proposed measurements will be collected centrally to enable children from all schools visited within the project to compare their results and to contribute to a large collaboration. The publication of the construction guide and background information will allow anyone interested to participate as well and to contribute to this collaborative effort.Reaching out to children with physical impairments, who often dismiss scientific carriers as an option due to their conditions, is essential to help them fully experience science and live out their potential. Therefore, one of SCIENCE HANDS aims is to explore the possibility of including this audience through targeted additions to the outreach material, such as a device to transform mechanical movement into sound to aid the visually impaired. Gender equality will also be actively encouraged by having equal numbers of female and male student representatives at each school visit.
