The Higgs Boson, also known as the "God Particle" is one of the most talked about concepts in Physics. Almost everybody has heard the term " God Particle" especially after it's discovery was announced a few years ago. But what exactly is the Higgs Boson? What does it do? Why is it so fundamentally important? How did they find it? In this exciting one day course, I will walk students through the answers for all of these questions. Through an interactive and engaging lesson plan that fosters discussion. I hope to introduce learners to one of most important concepts in Physics. The story of the Higgs Boson starts almost at the very instant after the Big Bang and discovering it required some of the greatest ingenuity in Human history. I hope you join me on this exhilarating adventure! This class is best suited for advanced students who enjoy thinking about abstract concepts.
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate a base level knowledge of the concept of the Higgs Boson as well as how it was discovered.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everybody!
My name is Sujit Naidu, and I have always harbored a lifelong passion for science! Some of my favourite topics are Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology. Many of my classes will focus on the different aspects of the human mind and brain. From introductory courses on the brain to more advanced topics like the neuroscience of vision, I will have something for everyone!
With an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto with Majors in Neuroscience and Psychology. I have a strong foundation in the topics i will teach. Aside from my education, I have also coached basketball for boys and girls of different ages. I understand how to teach something while keeping it fun and enjoyable!
I have been in some classes where teachers just lecture at you with little to no engagement. It is very difficult to stay focused and retain information when someone is simply talking at you. My teaching philosophy is it avoid excessive lecturing and focus on creating engagement with students. I pride myself on making topics accessible without simplifying them excessively.
I am also offering 1:1 tutoring and homework help. Please message me if you would like more information!
I also offer private group sessions for any of the classes I offer. If your student is a part of a group and that group would like a private lesson, I can accommodate for that!
