Teacher trainingTeacher training
National Teacher training courses in Freiburg, Göttingen, Mainz, Münster, …
In total 200 physics teachers (2007)
work with the Kamiokanne experiment
presents the master class idea
Includes visit at CERN (2-3 days)
Often includes astro particle physics
German-language CERN training courses4 courses in 2007, total 150 teachers
