For Secondary School

Pupils and teachers in secondary education can learn more about (astro)particle physics by either visiting Nikhef or by using Nikhef's resources in the classroom:

• visit Nikhef: lecture, film and guided tour from 13:30-16:00 on a Friday afternoon
• join HiSPARC: pupils take part in scientific research into cosmic rays
• subject cluster assignment doing research
• ask a physicist or an engineer to give a presentation
• make a cloud chamber with our help
• borrow the spark chamber
• Register for the European Master Class, 19 and 20 March 2009; take a look at the lectures from 2008! More information available at the European site
• attend Viva Fysica (end of January each year)(the annual physics event at Universiteit van Amsterdam)
• experience science at the Open Day in October!

For junior high school and technical courses, other possibilities are available upon request. For example, a guided tour of the workshop and the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Nikhef is actively involved in a number of modules for senior high school classes.

Further information can be found under the heading Lesson material  on this site.

Registration, requests and further information are available from Els Koffeman.
