The British School of Brussels - SciChem/Physics Factory training course - Friday 25th May 2012












On Thursday 24th May the Physics Factory delivered three Year 7/8 Forces and Motion masterclasses. The lessons were great fun with all students demonstrating great passion and enthusiasm for Physics. On Friday 25th we delivered a KS3 training event to thirteen delegates from schools from France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Holland. 100% of delegates said the course was very good with many delegates asking 'when is the next course!'.

Many thanks to Maria Schram (Head of Science), Steve Greenslade (Head of Physics) and everyone at the British School of Brussels for making the Physics Factory feel so welcome at your incredible school! We hope to be back again soon! Neil and Phil.
