What Happens Next?
This FREE Institute of Physics workshop features a selection of highly engaging demonstrations aimed at encouraging learners to think about the scientific explanations behind unexpected outcomes. What happens next is a catch phrase that characterises the nature of the activities that will be demonstrated and that can be used to encourage learners to make scientific predictions and propose scientific explanations.
In this workshop Kevin Betts (IOP Physics Teacher of the Year 2011) and Alessio Bernardelli (IOP Network Coordinator for Gloucestershire) will take you through some of the most popular demonstrations collected by David Featonby (one of the longest serving and most prolific IOP Network Coordinators) over many years.
The workshop is suitable for Secondary and Primary teachers of Science and the methods and ideas proposed can be easily adapted to other topics within Science!
Please BOOK in advance.

Using an Oscilloscope
Oscilloscopes are used to find the frequency of an electrical supply and
amplitude of an electronic signal. But they also are really useful in the
context of teaching about waves.
We will use one to find the speed of sound too.
