These full-day workshops will be packed with hands-on activities and minds-on discussions that will provide you with loads of ready-to-use lessons that will help support Unit A: Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration in grade 11 and 12 physics. It will explore such things as getting students to ask questions like scientists and to compare competing models. You will see how you can show them and why physics is important for students interested in medicine, law and business!
The workshop will focus on physics examples, but the resources contain lessons that are perfect for the grade 9 and 10 science courses and the grade 10 careers course. Each teacher will receive extra copies of each resource so they can share these with the non-physics teachers in their school.
Each participating teacher will be provided with supply coverage for the day and lunch. Spaces are limited, so contact the presenter to sign up today!

Roberta has been teaching physics in Toronto for 25 years. She is rather fanatical about modern physics and Physics Education Research and spends her spare time looking for ways to combine them to make high school physics more exciting and inviting. She has given workshops to this end around special relativity, general relativity, particle physics quantum uncertainty and entanglement. She is a consultant for the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical and the coordinator of PI’s Teacher Network. In her spare spare time she plays New Orleans jazz at Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto.
Tim is also great, but we don't have a profile for him yet.
