This in-person workshop on the Required Practical: Electricity, is led by David Bailey, Coach for Physics Partners and hosted by Ian Ramsey CE Academy, Stockton-on-Tees, TS19 7AJ
These sessions are for physics teachers, particularly non-specialists, early career teachers and teacher trainees. Technicians are also welcome to attend.
Required Practical: Electricity
In this session, we will consider the teaching of electricity, including the use of modelling for electric circuits. We will use practical activities to explore the rules for series and parallel electric circuits. We will also look at how pupils pick up unhelpful preconceptions around electricity and how to unpick them.
Intended learning outcomes
Consider using models to help understand key ideas in electricity
Consider how to use practical work to help pupils remember simple rules for electric circuits
Consider unhelpful preconceptions in this topic
Consider implications for practice
This CPD session is fully-funded by The Reece Foundation and delivered by Physics Partners and forms part of the Middlesbrough and Stockton Physics Hub series of twilight sessions.
