Technicians supporting: physics 11-16 NY606
Examine and explore a selection of physics practicals such as electricity, electronics, sound, light, radioactivity, forces, energy, and electromagnets which will be used in this GCSE course.
Summary
Experience a wide range of physics equipment which will enable you to support teachers and create impactful science lessons.
The content has been designed to meet the physics curriculum for 11 to16-year-old students and there will be topics which will motivate students to reach their physics qualifications. Explore a wide range of practicals to support teaching and learning.
Throughout these sessions you will be practising how to prepare equipment which will improve your confidence in this subject. There will be hints and tips on how to easily make physics equipment and there is a session where you can test your soldering skills to make a simple piece of equipment which you can take back to school and use.
Together we will be looking at the five main strands to make sure it’s relevant to you. 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.
