Swanshurst Year 10 Forces Lessons (2nd & 3rd February 2010)

The aim of these lessons was to support these high abilty Year 9 girls with their understanding of KS4 forces and to give their enthusiasm and confidence in Physics a boost.

SUMMARY OF COURSE EVALUATIONS
45 students attended
100% of students said they thought the lesson was either 'good or very good' with 58% saying it was 'very good'
96% of students said they would like to attend more lessons at the Physics Factory
27% of students said at the end of the lesson they would like to study Physics at A Level

A FEW STUDENT COMMENTS
"make the lesson a full day so we can learn more things and have more practicals"
"the Physics Factory changed my opinion about Physics and yes, I am good at it, I din't know how much I knew"
"I really enjoyed learning about Newton's third law of motion because it was and I learned a lot"
"I liked the activity with the fake snow as I thought it was amazing and extremely cool"
"I enjoyed all the activities especially the balloon one. It taught me a lot that I didn't know and reassured my previous knowledge"
"The lesson was very enjoyable and I don't think it could be improved! I'd like to spend more time here"
"I enjoyed going on the hoovercraft and launching the rocket as it was fun and exciting. I havn't done anything like this before it was very hands on"
