Cosmic Rays and Research in Schools: One School's Experience
Chaffer, Andy; Tedd, Bernie
School Science Review, v98 n363 p67-74 Dec 2016
The High School Project on Astrophysics Research with Cosmics (HiSPARC) is an international project in which secondary schools and academic institutions join forces to form a network of detectors to measure cosmic rays with extremely high energy. We present results of research done by students at the King Edward VI High School For Girls, Birmingham, UK, and highlight the benefits of such projects in raising the profile of physics in schools.
