Bridging the gap – practical physics for primary to secondary transition

This workshop is designed for teachers delivering science at KS2 and KS3.

We will be sharing ideas for engaging, practical physics teaching mostly using low tech equipment that can be used at either side of the primary-secondary transition.

Topics covered will be:
Earth in Space – seasons, moon and solar system
Light and sound
Electricity
Forces

We will be highlighting the common misconceptions that students hold and discussing the best ways to address these using selected practicals and effective modelling.

All welcome!
