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!

Sara Naudts has been teaching physics in the Peel District School Board since 2004. She is passionate about learning: whether it is growing as teacher by implementing strategies based on PER (physics education research), learning new developments in science, or integrating technology in the classroom, watching her students be successful in physics is her goal. In her spare time she loves competing in triathlon, being the volunteer coordinator for the Canadian Cross Training Club (C3), and coaching.
“Practice with emotion and purpose, perform with passion and confidence.”
Greg Macdonald has taught Physics and Grade 9 and 10 Science for the past 14 years, first at St. Catharines Collegiate and more recently at Laura Secord Secondary School in St. Catharines, Ontario. In addition to attending the OAPT conference (almost) every year, Greg attended the Perimeter Institute EinsteinPlus conference in 2008 and is currently a member of the Ontario Teacher Associates network for Perimeter. Greg's other interests include astronomy, swimming and trying with limited success to convince his three daughters to become science geeks like Dad.
