Can a short intervention focused on gravitational waves and quantum physics improve students' understanding and attitude?

The decline in students' interest in science and technology is a major concern in the western world. One approach to reversing this decline is to introduce modern physics concepts much earlier in the school curriculum. We have used the context of the recent discoveries of gravitational waves to...
