Electricity/electronics for GCSE physics
two-part twilight workshop
Organisers: Paul Gardiner/Marion Frankland/Joe Coughlan
Target Audience: Non-specialist teachers of GCSE science/physics
Venue: Ernesford Grange Community School, Princethorpe way, Binley, COVENTRY
Dates: Part 1 Wed 30th Jan 2008, Part 2 Wed 6th Feb 2008
Time: 4:30-6:30pm
A combination of practical activities and computer simulation will be used to give ideas for teaching the electrical/electronic aspects of GCSE physics. Although the OCR Gateway Science Suite - Physics B - GCSE specification will form the basis of the workshop, there will be considerable overlap with other GCSE specifications.
