Effective A level practical work: physics NY314
Develop understanding of effective practical work at A level physics
Summary
Effective A level practical work: physics will provide you with a range of both practical and pedagogical experience to support practical science in your subject. You will build the disciplinary knowledge required to teach practical work and investigate a joined-up approach to progression across the curriculum. We will also look at developing concepts through practical work and how to build student understanding towards practical work questions.
This course is run at the same time as Effective A level practical work: chemistry and Effective A level practical work: biology, multiple participants may attend from one science department.
