CERN Accelerating science

As part of the A-level and IB curriculum at Torquay Boys Grammar school, the students learn about elementary particles, interactions and discoveries. They study the electromagnetic field and how they can utilise it to accelerate and control charged particles. In this term, they have the exciting opportunity to see where this is all put into place in action at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Physicists will take them on tour to see the practical use of the physics taught in the classroom. This virtual visit is an inspirational experience for them. We expect many of the students to continue to study physics once they leave school.
