| Date | Topic | Session Overview | STEM Learning Booking Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 13 May | Money Talks | In this session we'll look at the phenomenally interesting physics of money! | Book Here! |
| Friday 27 May | Mystery Boxes | Mystery boxes are a fantastic model for science. In this session we will look at how to make, and how to use several kinds of "mystery" to bring excitement to a range of key stages and topics. Audience participation very much encouraged! | Book Here! |
| Friday 10 June | Electromagnetism | Charge, magnets and EM waves - in this session we'll look at how the concepts tie together and form the backbone of a large quantity of physics teaching | Booking link coming soon! |
| Friday 1 July | The Tidal Bulges | Whilst most explanations of the tides “it’s the moon’s gravitational attraction” are readily accepted by all, there’s a very significant issue that often causes a lot of confusion. The trouble is, the tidal bulge is not only on the side facing the moon ie. the water is not simply “pulled up” by the Moon – there’s a lot more going on! | Booking link coming soon! |
