Description
We present here a teaching unit about bosons and fermions adapted for high school. Despite the importance of the topic as a gateway to many-particle physics, it is absent from most high school curricula and most research on the subject. A teaching unit is presented, and initial findings supporting its adaptation to high school are presented.
