  1. Discussion on Physics CurriculaHST 2002 • Generalities about some different Physics Syllabus (HST) • Contemporary Physics (Particle Physics) in different countries • The case of each country represented at HST02 • General Discussion • Conclusions

  2. Generalities • Big differences from one country to another and even in the same country (local syllabus) • Different approaches in Teaching Physics: classical, related to the daily life and applications of Physics • IT as a resource in a lot of countries • Nuclear Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, (General Relativity in Slovak and USA) Cosmology and Particle Physics at different levels (more or less Maths, more or less experimental work)

  3. Portugal • Classical Mechanics • A little of Quantum Mechanics at the Chemistry Syllabus • No Modern or Contemporary Physics in the present syllabus • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Portugal.

  4. Spain • Topics on Modern Physics: Nuclear Physics at 17, Particle Physics, Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics before University • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/HST2001Spain.ppt

  5. France • Classical Mechanics, including oscillators and differential equations to solve, the same in electrical oscillators and with approximations molecular or atomic oscillators. • Spectroscopy and quanta of energy, therefore E = h n • Recommended experiences of modern physics in French high schools: • http://www.eduscol.education.fr/D0017/II_D_ouverture_quantique_meca_de_Newton.doc • http://www.ac-reims.fr/datice/sc_physiques/sites/adress.htm

  6. Italy • Some Modern Physics, including Particle Physics, but, most the time never reached http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Italy.

  7. Greece • Some Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics (15-18) • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Greece

  8. Bulgaria • All the topics of Modern Physics at the last year (18) • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/bulgari.ppt

  9. Hungary • Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics but nothing about • Relativity or Particle Physics • http://www.om.hu/

  10. Romania • Modern Physics with some Mathematical development

  11. Slovak Republic • Modern Physics, but not Particle Physics • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Slovakia

  12. Czech Republic • Modern and Particle Physics at 18 for all Physics Students • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/czech.htm

  13. Poland • Contemporary Physics including Particle Physics and Cosmology • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Poland1

  14. Germany • It’s possible to teach all kinds of modern Physics, even in special courses. • But it’s also possible to teach a very small version of Physics. • Syllabus contains too many very different possibilities. • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Germany

  15. Austria • All Physics students learn Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology and do some experimental work from 17 to 19 • http://www.bmuk.gv.at/eu/epages/index.htm

  16. Netherlands • Students learn Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics • No Particle Physics or Relativity • Lots of experimental work • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/nedprog.htm

  17. Belgium • A little bit of Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and Nuclear Physics • http://www.argo.be/ • http://www.vsko.be/

  18. UK • Particle Physics at Secondary School since the 1990’s! • Advancing Physics • Salters • http://post16.iop.org/advphys/

  19. Ireland • Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics are optional from 16 – 18 • Experimental work and applications of Contemporary Physics • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#Ireland

  20. Norway • All topics of Contemporary Physics at 18 with experimental work • http://skolenettet.nls.no/

  21. Sweden • A little of Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Relativity but a lot of Nuclear Physics (16-17 and 19-20) • Experimental work as often as possible • http://www3.skolverket.se/ki/eng/comp.pdf

  22. Finland • All the topics of Modern and Contemporary Physics (18-19) • Cloud Chamber experiment • Medical Applications

  23. Russia

  24. USA • Different Syllabus from State to State • http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/HST2001/syllabus/syllabus.htm#US
