Regular courses for high-school students that I organize or have contributed to are listed here. On the homepage of the Physics & School working group all courses and events can be found.

For elementary-school students:

• Entdeckertag am NaT-Lab: an exclusive program in cooperation with Ludwig Schwamb School in Mainz as part of the early support program for gifted children in Rhineland-Palatinate

For students in 5th and 6th grade:

• Versuch's mal!: an annual program in experimental physics on five afternoons, for self-registration for students in 5th or 6th grade

For students from 7th grade:

• High-school student labs: courses at Mainz University for school classes and courses from 7th through 13th grade
• Particle-Physics Masterclasses: courses within the Particle Physics Network("Netzwerk Teilchenwelt") for high-school students for self-registration, high-school student projects at CERN, regular meetings of Particle Physics Network fellows

For upper-level high-school students:

• MINT-EC a camp on particle physics: an annual event for high-school students lasting several days, organized in cooperation with the MINT-EC society and Gutenbergschule and Leibnizschule Wiesbaden
• Saturday Morning Physics: an annual lecture series on modern physics for high-school students
• KLIMAkademie: an annual interdisciplinary academy for high-school students on the scientific background of the climate crisis
• Physics contribution to the "Schnuppertage" program where high-school students get an introduction to university studies in physics and then attend a regular lecture (semi-annual program)
• Open Day: at the annual open day at Mainz University the Department of Physics offers an extensive program
• Physics and/or Meteorology Early Study Program: a flexible program for high-school students to attend university courses in physics (with online option, optionally including exams) starting each lecture term in March or September

Material for teachers to design their physics lessons has been created in many theses that I have supervised. Material that is freely available for use in the classroom is listed here. Further material by the Physics & School working group can be found on our Download page.

Teaching material "Our Climate and Us" for 3rd-6th grade:

material for download (in German)

• complete material including a story, further homework assignment, and information for teachers
• created in collaboration between students and scientists from FridaysForFuture and Scientists4Future Mainz/Wiesbaden

Teaching material "Power? Sure!" on electricity for the 9th or 10th grade:

material for download (in German)

• teaching unit on the topic of power in electrical circuits
• with open-ended tasks and student experiments in the context of fuses and ground fault circuit interrupters

Teaching material "Sensors in Every-Day Life" for the 9th or 10th grade:

material for download (in German)

• teaching unit on the topic of sensors
• based on student experiments on the functionality of sensor elements

Material for a high-school student laboratory "Cool Physics"

description and material for download (in German)

• high-school student laboratory on the concepts of heat and temperature in the context of cooling

High-school physics within the context of the search for dark matter with the XENON experiment:

Masterclasses within the Particle Physics Network("Netzwerk Teilchenwelt") successfully use modern particle physics as a motivation for physics, but are not yet being offered in the context of the XENON experiment for the search for dark matter. The XENON experiment in particular offers a direct connection within a current context to the high-school curriculum in mechanics, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.

A masterclass on the XENON experiment can be used in high-school for repetition (collisions, electric field) and as an outlook (photoelectric effect, atomic models, particle physics). For this purpose, a modular concept for an all-day masterclass for high-school courses should be worked out such that it can be adapted flexibly to the needs of different school groups. The masterclass should then be developed, tested and evaluated subjectively.
