Review of the Particle Physics Content High-School Physics Curricula
Credit : Anja Kranjc Horvat
Abstract
This international curricular review provides a structured overview of the particle physics content in 27 state, national, and international high-school physics curricula. Overall, this international curricular review provides the basis for future curricular development with respect to particle physics and suggests an increased inclusion of experimental particle physics concepts in high-school physics curricula.
