A Particle Physics Course for High-School Students
Credit : CERN
Abstract
The development of the course is based on a thorough review of educational theory, empirical research, and years of experience in particle physics education. It contains 16 chapters with videos and quizzes and covers a core curriculum that introduces you to fundamental questions, such as “What is a particle?” leading to more applied questions, such as “What is a particle accelerator?”.
It also include feedback questions for every chapter to collect feedback on the content of the course and its design.
Total : 3 hours 50 minutes
