You seem to get cohomology with integer coefficients, not deRham cohomology. This also looks like homework, since the cohomology groups of Grassmannians are very well understood. – Ben McKay Nov 13 2011 at 17:29

I agree that the question seems very much like homework, but I'll give a hint nevertheless: get a hold Milnor and Stasheff and read about Stiefel-Whitney classes. – Donu Arapura Nov 13 2011 at 18:21
