The Lancaster Particle Physics Package (LPPP) is designed for high school students, aged about 16, focussing on Physics as one of their science subjects.

The LPPP aims to give you a feeling for the basic physics and experimental techniques involved in Particle Physics research. By following the suggested experiments, calculations and short projects, you will learn how to find the mass and identity of particles that you have created. There is a gradual introduction to relativistic formulae and corresponding units for energy and mass. The animations in the LPPP simulate the real physics underlying the events that you are modelling.

The package you find here is preliminary. A link to the most recent version can be found here.
