Description
We present examples of lesson materials on quantum technology, currently under development, to be used as an introduction to quantum physics in upper secondary school aimed at students with a general STEM background. We expect that introducing students to quantum technology and how its applications impact their daily environment can be a fruitful starting point for developing some intuition about quantum phenomena. Thus, the materials contain hands-on activities and demonstrations with a predict-observe-explain approach. Additionally, we wish to explicitly connect quantum physics to other fields of scientific study such as chemistry and biology.
