Practical physics is often the subject that most technicians fear the most. Well after this one day online and interactive course, hopefully your fears will be put to one side. Together we will explore tricks to prep physics, identifying and setting up physics equipment, the required practicals, innovative physics demos and practicals ideas for the scheme of work and will touch on most areas on the 11-16 curriculum.

During the day there will be a mixture of live demonstrations, videos, chats about good practice.

• 9.00-10.30 Introduction / Physics issues and organisation ideas / Circuits and Electricity / Forces / Magnets and Electromagnets
• 11.00-12.30 Radioactivity / Sound and Light / Conduction and Convection
• 13.30-15.00 GCSE and A Level Resources / Physics Toys / Evaluation and Plenary

Outcomes - participants will be able to:

• Describe a range of innovative physics practicals
• Implement good physics preparation practice
• Develop confidence in setting up and making physics practicals work.
• Evaluate the importance of physics practical in the schools SOW
• Explore relevant health and safety issues around physics preparation and practicals

The course will be delivered using Zoom sessions, and will include group work/discussion and power-point slides. Participants will need access to a PC, or laptop or tablet / ipad type device, ideally with good audio and a microphone to maximise engagement on the day.
