Abstract
This curriculum unit is tailored specifically for high school students in grades 9-12 who have not been previously exposed to the concepts of quantum mechanics. It assumes no prior knowledge of quantum physics, aiming to provide a foundational understanding of quantum entanglement and its implications in an accessible and engaging manner.
The unit is designed to cater to a diverse range of learners, including those with varying levels of interest and aptitude in science. By adopting a clear and concise approach, incorporating visual aids, and employing relatable analogies, the complex subject of quantum entanglement is made comprehensible to students with little or no scientific background.
Moreover, the unit is flexible and adaptable to different classroom settings and teaching styles. It can be integrated into existing physics or science curricula or serve as a standalone unit for exploring the frontiers of scientific knowledge.
