Opening of the boxes during the Schools challenge

Pupils from Jean de la Fontaine school (Prévessin-Moëns, France) and Cérésole school (Petit-Lancy, Switzerland) open the boxes and reveal the contents, as part of the Schools' challenge. Every year, pupils aged 8 to 12 from Geneva, Ain and Haute-Savoie follow in scientists’ footsteps by studying the scientific research process. Like researchers who are looking for invisible particles, the pupils make hypotheses, collect data and use evidence as they set out to identify the contents of boxes provided by CERN. One small catch – they are not allowed to open the boxes or damage them in any way.
