Mary Mullaghy 18 February 2014

This Induction Course is for teachers of LC Physics who are new to the profession or new to the syllabus. The Resource Workshops will use Inquiry Based Learning to stimulate student thinking to gain a clearer understanding of real world physics applications.

This course is for teachers of LC Physics who are new to the profession or new to the syllabus. Participants will explore aspects of the LC Physics Syllabus, the available resources and get hands-on experience with many of the experiments and demonstrations listed in the syllabus. It will also benefit experienced teachers who wish to partake in a refresher course with like minded colleagues and will be facilitated in three different venues nationally by experienced teachers.
