Grade 10 Biophysics Activities

Physics is all around us, but students often have trouble seeing the connection between what is covered in the classroom and how it relates to what we encounter every day. If you have ever had a student ask "When am I ever going to need to use this?" and struggled with coming up with relevant answers then this is the workshop for you! Come engage yourself in some great hands-on activities that connect sports, medicine and the world of biology with the physics covered in the grade ten curriculum. Get some great lab ideas that can be used for any level of learning and will have students leaving the classroom wanting more.
