Join Jim (High School Physics teacher from Whitby) for some great hands on activities for teaching gr.9/10 science.
All participants will receive great resources for the classroom. Topics covered will be:
Process of Science
Engage students in the creative, inquisitive and collaborative processes of scientific exploration through various cases studies,
class activities, the “Alice and Bob” animated series, and MinutePhysics YouTube videos.
Mystery of Dark Matter
Our universe is moving too fast! According to Newton’s laws of motion, stars on the outside of our galaxy are moving faster than
they should. This resource helps has hands on activities to help demonstrate what gravity is and why dark matter is so important to the stability of our universe.
Particle Physics – Modeling the Bohr Rutherford Experiment
Have student learn about the Bohr-Rutherford experiment by modeling it through interpretive dance and hands on demonstrations!
GPS and Relativity
Teach students how GPS works and the importance of precision timing. Timing is so precise it must take into account the effects of Einstein’s theory of relativity – both special and general relativity.
If you wish to attend an upcoming session, please email Roberta Tevlin
to reserve a spot and ensure that sufficient materials and enough snacks to serve at the start are available. If there is no workshop near you, let Roberta know and maybe something can be arranged.
Please pass this information on to the other physics teachers that you know and bring them along!"
