Many of you will have students who struggle with the underlying concepts and application of Electricity. Failure to understand the basic concepts of current, voltage and resistance, their effect on common electrical components and crucially the application of these concepts in parallel and series circuits are areas of constant frustration.

We have set up this new course to focus in on;

  • The difference between current and voltage
  • Series and parallel circuits
  • I-V characteristics for resistor, filament lamp and diode

This intensive session is designed for all GCSE physics teacher looking for refreshed ideas for teaching Electricity. Get to grips with these challenging areas to reinforce learning and take away effective ways to really get students understanding Electricity.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

  • Highlight the reasons that students struggle in Mechanics that prohibit them from accessing higher marks
  • Refreshed approaches to teaching Forces, Moments, Momentum and Dynamics
  • Get to grips with the most challenging areas to reinforce learning
  • Take away effective ways to really get students understanding Forces
