Description
Much research has shown that students’ misconceptions of radioactivity and ionizing radiation are common and have a significant impact on their learning process and their ability to act as responsible citizens. The use of MiniPIX cameras, based on the Timepix hybrid pixel detectors read out designed at CERN, is bringing experimental particle physics and radioactivity into secondary education. An analysis of the effectiveness of the MiniPIX as a learning tool to dispel these misconceptions is presented.
