Lecturer in Science Education @KingsECS @crestem_kcl Interested in conceptual change, the nature of scientific understanding, and telling stories about physics
Lovely to spend the day with many other academics @KingsCollegeLon @crestem_kcl talking all things STEM education. Thank you for your time today @GlackM @RBrockPhysics @heatherkingkcl @TsuiAllen and everyone else I saw 🌟
Two 1-hour online workshops for maths & science teachers all about NEUTRINOS, led by @KingsNMES's very own Prof Jeanne Wilson. Start next week! Pls share @ChatPhysics @MathsHubs @ogdentrust @IOPTeaching @crestem_kcl @RBrockPhysics @GDSTSkills @Hookean1 #iteachphysics #chatphysics
Physics Teachers! eventbrite.co.uk/e/teacher-work… We're delivering 2 virtual workshops (5th & 19th June 4pm - 5pm) to support you to deliver neutrino-research based classroom activities for GCSE students who are considering doing physics at A Level and beyond. Sign up for free here.
My amazing PhD student Tolu is looking to expand her research work in Physics Identity. If you are interested to collaborate with us please reach out per-he.org/call-for-colla… #perhe #education #research #physics #science #undergraduate #HE #studies @Kings_PER @KCL_Physics
Modelling Electricity with Ben Rogers is live! Join Robin, Rosie and friend-of-the-Podcast-and-author @BenRogersEdu for a delectable selection of ways to teach electricity spanning from year 4 all the way through to some fun ideas for year 12 A-level classes. #iteachphysics
I will look forward to this @BenRogersEdu is always worth listening to!
Coming tomorrow, more great ideas from Primary education with @BenRogersEdu
Thank you @physicstp - it was fun to talk about the research @BenRogersEdu, @liamciniodwyer and I carried out with @IOPTeaching funding to look at the impact of stories on learning - and to get sidetracked by physics stories!
Effective StoryTelling in Physics is live! @RBrockPhysics shares his wisdom on how stories, when used judiciously, can both enrich learning and bring joy to teaching. #iteachphysics
