  • Institute of Physics Workshops

We are delighted to offer this FREE series of workshops, designed and delivered by the Institute of Physics.

Who should attend?

  • Science teachers, particularly non-physicists and/or new teachers, who are being asked to teach physics GCSE topics.
  • Technicians who are asked to support this practical work.

Sessions will cover:

GCSE Core practicals (8th January 2019) 

Description

Have you been asked to teach GSCE Physics topics but do not feel comfortable / familiar with the practical work. This workshop will enable you to actually do the key experiments and explore alternative approaches. It will also check your understanding of key concepts such as precision and accuracy.

What will it cover?

  • The specific heat capacity of one or more materials.
  • The effectiveness of different materials as thermal insulators and the factors that may affect them
  • Use circuit diagrams to set up and check appropriate circuits to investigate the factors affecting the resistance of electrical circuits.
  • Use circuit diagrams to construct appropriate circuits to investigate the I–V characteristics of a variety of circuit elements
  • The densities of regular and irregular solid objects and liquids.
  • The relationship between force and extension for a spring.
  • The effect of varying the force or mass on the acceleration of an object produced by a constant force.
  • Measure the frequency, wavelength and speed of waves in a ripple tank and waves in a solid
  • The reflection of light by different types of surface and the refraction of light by different substances.
  • How the amount of infrared radiation absorbed or radiated by a surface depends on the nature of that surface.

Electromagnetism with Confidence (22nd March 2019) 

Description

Have you been asked to teach electromagnetic topics in a GSCE  Physics course, but do not feel comfortable/familiar with this area? Or are you a technician who are asked to support this practical work.  This workshop will enable you to try out the relevant experimental work and explore the underlying physics.

Do you have lots of different equipment but are not sure how to use it?

What will it cover?

• Potential difference – models to help understanding

• Potential dividers including their uses

• Electromagnets

• Electromagnetic induction and generators

• Catapult field and the motor effect

• Transformers

• Overhead power cables and the national grid

• Power stations

• Diodes in use

 

Cost

FREE but spaces are limited and on a first come first served basis.

Includes resources, lunch and refreshments
