(Taunton) Subject knowledge for physics teaching: forces SK103 / SK103FT1
Summary
Forces are at the foundation of much understanding in physics. Misconceptions can arise early in a student’s education and can be resistant to change unless suitably challenged. In this SKPT module we will be looking at ways teachers can challenge the misconceptions through pre-planned questions and demos.
Learning takes place over an 8-week period and includes the following:
- Three twilight day face-to-face sessions.
- Two online webinars.
- Supported online study, including activities and quizzes.
Topics covered are: introduction to forces, deforming forces, frictional forces, Newton’s laws, motion (speed, distance, time), motion (velocity, acceleration, momentum), non-contact forces, forces in action.
This course is only available for teachers in England who have QTS and do not have a physics degree.
This course is not available for teachers at independent or fee-paying schools.
