Technicians supporting physics: 11-16 NY606 / B16
Summary
“If it moves, it’s biology; If it smells, it’s chemistry; If it doesn’t work, it’s physics” this is the old saying that’s mentioned when physics practicals go wrong. This course will dismiss this myth with exciting, engaging, simple physics practicals that always work!
The course has been developed on five main strands to make sure its relevant to technicians, these five strands include, where to source the equipment, how to set it up, how the practical runs in the classroom, scientific background to the practical and health and safety.
The content has been designed to fulfil the physics curriculum for 11-16 students and will include topics that will inspire pupils to attain in their physics qualifications. We will fly through light, reaching the stars with rockets and telescopes, electrify ourselves with energy and forces and watch particles in your own cloud chamber kit.
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Course fees vary for participants outside of the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk for more information.
