Physics BTEC Day 1 Training Friday 5th February 2010

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

18 delegates
100% of delegates said they thought the course was either 'good or very good' with 94% saying it was 'very good'

Some comments from the delegates:
"Extremely well organised, excellent collaboration by the speakers and very good resources ..."
"Great day, excellent ideas and a lot to take away"
"An excellent day, I now have a bank of resources to take back to school and share with colleagues"
"Shopping list for equipment was an excellent idea"
"Very helpful course, with plenty of motivational activities"
"I will now modify my assignment briefs to incorporate the activities that I have learned today"
"An overall inspiring day and plethora of useful ideas and resources to take away and use"
"Engaging and interesting, relevant to current situation"
"I have left with a better understanding of BTEC as a whole not just in Physics"

Delegates identified future inset needs:-
'How to make the space part of Physics more hands on'
'More, more, more!'
'Use of data logging in Physics'
'Physics courses for non-specialists who want to teach A level Physics'

Found it very helpful, especially the practicals in working out the efficiency of devices. learnt new practicals that will motivate the pupils to undersdtand the concept efficiency and the clculations

A hugh thank you to Matthew, Sandy, Stewart and Sukhdev for all your hard work in producing the resources demonstrated at the training. All your presentations were very engaging and professionally delivered. A great team effort!

A well-structured course with each activity linked specifically to an area of the course in question.
A problem with a lot of courses is whilst they give good ideas, it often needs a lot of follow-up work to see where and how each idea can be used to the full. The team at the Physics Factory did a great job of delivering activities that catered for the course directly.

A very productive day.
