‘The experiments were fantastic! I thought electricity would be hard and complex to understand but the teaching methods were excellent. I now know that even electricity can be taught in an interactive way.’

The Physics Factory is fabulous! It has really changed my opinion of physics and the lessons have greatly contributed to my knowledge and understanding of the everyday world around us. It has been a billiant week and I am looking forward to the next few days!
this was the best day so far! such fun to be had with the VdG generator, hovercraft, mini national grid, some plastic rods and a streaming tap…!! If I can make physics have as much fun I’m sure my students will love to come to my physics lessons…now I have no excuses!
COURSE EVALUATIONS – SUMMARY
14 DELEGATES
100% of delegates said they thought the course was either ‘good or very good’ with 86% saying it was ‘very good’
SOME COMMENTS FROM THE DELEGATES:
‘Some great demonstrations and interactive ideas to take away. My understanding of how electrons move around a circuit and how this is measured has improved greatly.’
‘My perceptions of Physics have changed. We have covered some difficult areas and leant how the topics can be taught in a fun way. Really great day, good to have time for discussions – lots of questions arose.’
‘Really good practical work to go alongside the theory. My understanding of circuits has improved. My perceptions of Physics have changed and I now know how to teach electrical circuits in an engaging way.’
‘An excellent day! My knowledge hasn’t changed it has simply reinforced and added to what I already had! I can see it is easier for students to understand theories when practicals are used first. I especially liked the sweet model.’
‘The experiments were fantastic! They were really well explained. I thought electricity would be hard and complex to understand but the teaching methods were excellent. I now know that even electricity can be taught in an interactive way.’
‘My subject knowledge has vastly improved. I now know that electricity is a good topic if it is taught properly.’
‘Today was a really session. My perceptions of Physics have changed; Physics is not as hard as I thought.’
‘I feel more inspired, engaged and confident. I especially enjoyed the human circuits, national grid demo and hovercraft experiment.’
‘Before today I thought electricity and magnetism were boring topics to teach. Today made me realise that with the right knowledge these topics can be made interactive and much easier to understand.’
‘I now have a greater understanding of electricity. The topic is more interesting and fun than I expected.’
