Teaching Standard Model at high school Objectives |
During a lesson in the history of the Standard Model, one could fulfill these objectives.
|
Objective |
Example |
| Students will learn the important historical developments leading up to the standard model. | The whole timeline |
| Students will learn who the important scientists are and what they did. | The whole timeline |
|
Students will learn the role of experiments and how advances in technology effect the advancement of science |
The development of the high-energy cyclotron which made possible the production and examination of pions |
|
Students will learn science is a human interpretation of nature, rather than literal truth. |
There is continuous revision and discarding of models and theories that always have a certain scope. Eg. the Rutherford-scattering showed the presence of a nucleus in the atom, so they had to discard Thomson's 'plum-pudding' model |
|
Students will learn scientists are human and therefore capable of mistakes. |
It took 10 years to realize the muon wasn't Yukawa's pion |
|
Students will gain an interest in learning about the standard model. |
Of course :-) |
