Physics BTEC Training Day 2 Thurs 25th February 2010

'Practical ideas to introduce into new BTEC assignments for the new BTEC specification Sept 2010'

19 delegates
100% of delegates said they thought the course was either 'good or very good' with 89% saying it was 'very good'

Some comments from the delegates:
"Well researched and presented course – production of DVD of resources is very useful"
"Good use by the presenters of the knowledge and ideas of the delegates"
"Very useful day – some great ideas"
"Very informative and well delivered"
"Excellent and informative day"
"I will use the ideas shared now to engage my students"
"Another excellent day – fantastic resources to be used in school"
"Great background information for the non physics specialists"
"Excellent course – thank you"
"Lots of information and ideas – even for a seasoned Physicist"
"Thank you, looking forward to similar days for Chemistry and Biology"


Delegates identified future inset needs:-
‘Courses for non specialists’
‘Support with writing schemes of work’
‘A level training’
‘Possibility of presenters coming into school’

As a non-physics specialist, I found this session incredibly useful. There was the perfect balance between theory and practical application which all of us had a chance to test out for ourselves (especially useful if you've ever found yourself modelling a practical for the class having never used the equipment before yourself....) Would be very interested in attending similar sessions. Great delivery and content!

As a physics teacher it was really useful and gave lots of great ideas. Not all of which have to be just used for BTEC only.

Another excellent session today. Lots of great ideas for experiments and demonstrations - even for experienced Physicists. Plus all resouces will be available on DVD - thanks BASS!

An excellent two day course for non physics specialists like me!
Fantastic resources, ideas aswell as worksheets to share with my colleagues back at school. Can't wait for the DVD! Thanks Phil.

This course has provided a number of great ideas for practicals to cover the new BTEC syllabus. There was something for physics teachers ranging from the experienced to the non- specialist.

Having travelled quite a way to attend, I feel that it was well worth the time and early morning as I have learned a lot!!!

Many thanks to Sandy Wilkinson and Sukhdev Bhateoy for all your hard work and support in helping to produce the resources for the two waves assignments!

I felt the two day course was absolutely amazing, some great resources and practical ideas that I can use and forward on to my collegues. As a non-physics specialist I felt their was something for everyone. I am looking forward to working with the physics factory in the future to develop more engaging physics lessons.
