  2. Overview • Different Programmes • GTP – The Basis • High School Students‘ Programmes • Netzwerk Teilchenwelt • Miscellaneous • Work withStudents (and individual teachers) • Material • SomeConclusions

  3. Visits PS/Linac2/AD SM18 2 LHC Experiments Computer Centre Workshops Teachers Lab Cloud Chambers Programme outside Visit of German Permanent Representation Treasure Hunt Cheese Fondue GTP Programme Format • Standard Programme • up to 36 participants • state endorsed in several states • Sunday Evening until Friday Lunchtime • Lectures • CERN Introduction • Particle Physics • Particle Detectors • Particle Accelerators • Antimatter • Cosmology • Applications in IT and Medicine • National Resources • Curriculae

  4. GTPGerman Teacher Programmes 2013 • March (24.-29.) • Nationwide, also together with NetzwerkTeilchenwelt • May (26.-31.) • Nationwide, 20 Bavarians • Oktober (13.-18.) • Nationwide, 10 Saxonians • Oktober (27.10.-1.11.) • Nationwide, also together with NetzwerkTeilchenwelt • Additional programmes planned in Germany • Additional programmes planned with and/or in the state of NRW, following the inclusion of particle physics in the curriculum

  5. German Programme Participants

  7. Netzwerk Teilchenwelt German Network on ParticlePhysicsEducation andOutreach fundedbytheGerman Federal Ministryfor Education and Research EPPCN • Sascha Schmeling on behalf of

  8. Who we are and what we do Our Activities Organisational structure Communication Network and users‘ community Ideas for the future

  9. Weare… … a German Network of • scientists • (astro-)particlephysics • students • aged 15-19 • teachers/trainers • atschools, schoollabs, sciencecentres, etc. • in direkt contactto CERN

  10. We … • workwithstudentsandteachers to bring modern researchtotheclassroom • offerprogrammes in particlephysicsandastroparticlephysics • offeryoungscientiststhechanceandknowledgetoimprovetheircommunicationskills

  11. OurConcept • 4 programmelevels • Basic: introductiontoparticlephysics • Qualification: participantsorganizeownprojects • Strengtheningtheexperience: workshopsat CERN • Research Projects: atresearchinstitutes(CERN & DESY) • 4 centralelements • localprojectsall over Germany throughouttheyear • workshopsat CERN • developmentofcontext material • scientificevaluation students & teachers particlephysicsandcosmicprojects

  12. Activities2010 / 2011 / 2012 teachers/trainers students Research Projects CERN Qualification Basic

  13. Activities: National Masterclasses what: about 120 „national masterclasses“ a year where: mostly in schools, also schoollabs, fairs, exhibitions how: 4-5 hrs, one talk, measurements, quiz, novideoconf supervision: mostlyPhDstudents, assistedby (school) studentsandteachers groups: about 20 schoolstudents data: LHC&LEP National Masterclass in Lenggries (MPI München)

  14. what: 20 „basicintroductorydays“, 30 „projectweeks“, ~5 researchprojects a year how: Scintillator Experiment, usingQuarknet DAQ board „Kamiokanne“ Web experiments (e.g. triggerhodoscope, polar ship) mainlyacitivities in qualificationandresearchstages Students: projectweeks (1-2 weeks) Teachers: teachersdays supervision: mostlyPhD-studentsandteachers Activities: Cosmic Project* (DESY Zeuthen) Photomultiplier DAQ board Scintillator *sinceDec 2010

  15. Activities: Qualification Stage Students: „spreadingtheirknowledgetoothers“ beingtutors in masterclasses, cosmic-experimentsgivingtalksaboutparticlephysics in theirschoolguiding in exhibitions; helpwithoutreach-activities… evenholding a masterclassthemselves Teachers: „organizingparticlephysicsprojects“organizingmasterclasses, cosmic-projectspreparationofmasterclasses

  16. Activities: CERN Workshops andProject Weeks (CERN, partiallywith German Teachers Program) Students: 60 participants in twoannualworkshops (3 days) 10 participants in projectweeks(ownresearchprojects) Teachers: 60 participants in twoannualworkshops (5 days) CERN-Workshops are a bigmotivationforactivities in thequalificationstageandveryeffectivetrainingforteachersin modern physics

  17. Activities: Research Projects Students: researchprojectsfor 3-10 months (particleandastroparticlephysics) oftenpartof final schoolexaminations work on ownmeasurements tutors: PhDstudentsandphysicistsatuniversitiesandteachers Teachers: planning: researchprojects in particlephysicsandphysicsteaching currentproblem: lack of physicsteachers in German schools (nochancetotakesabbaticals)

  18. Impressions Excitedparticipantsatthe 1st students‘ CERN-Workshop in November 2010 Testingthenew LHC-ATLAS-W-Data atthe same workshop Teacherswithcosmicexperimentsatthe 1st CERN-Workshop für teachers (with German Teachers Programme) Participantsatthefinalsofthe German Competition „Jugend Forscht“ (astroparticlephysicsproject)

Coordination: Institute forNuclearandParticlePhysics, TU Dresden Workshops: CERN, German Teachers‘ Programme Context material: DidacticsofPhysics, U Würzburg Scientific Evaluation: DidacticsofPhysics, TU Dresden since 2011: AstroparticleProject: DESY Zeuthen Funding: BMBF (1/2010-1/2013) initially Patronage: German Physical Society Partner: www.weltderphysik.de Organization & Structure

  20. Local Organisation 24 Institutes in total 19 International Masterclasses 8 Teachers Day 15 AstroparticlePhysics Almost all ParticlePhysics Institutes in Germany around 140 scientistsinvolved !

  23. New Idea: Create a Teachers‘ Network improvingparticlephysicsactivitiesforschools: longterminvolvementofteachersatthe top stageofthenetwork (workshops, conferences, communicationplatform, sharedknowledge) scienceprojectsforinterestedteachers nationwideworkshopswithteachersatthe top stageofthenetwork toacknowledge: „modern science“ certificateforschoolswithactiveteachers  Aim: create a „win-win“ situationforstudents, teachers, schools, anduniversities Ideasforthefuture

  24. Budgeted 2013-2015! Sascha Schmeling

  25. Work withStudents • Student Works („Staatsexamen“) • e.g. Julian Merkert, Karlsruhe, 2008 • “Project Physicsteaching” • well-documentedmultimediaintroductiontoCERN andLHC • extensive productionofteaching material • consolidationofteachers‘ resourcesat CERN • PhD Thesis – Gentner-Programme / Austrian Programme • 4doctoralstudentscurrentlyat CERN • „Masterclassesandthe LHC“ • „Cosmics Experiments in Highschool“ • „Physics Teaching 2.0“ • ParticlePhysicstoTeachers in NRW

  26. German Language Material Sascha Schmeling • CERN

  27. SomeConclusions • build on existingprogrammesforgeneralteacherscourses • build a networktoreach high schoolstudents, teachers, andstudents • getteacherstudentsintegrated, theyare a greatassettoanyprogramme
