Physics Teacher Masterclass – Frontiers in Physics 2025
Wednesday 5th March, 2025 10:00 am MR4, Allam Medical Building, University of Hull (Arrival + registration)
This is a one-day CPD event organised by the Department of Physics & Astrophysics at the University of Hull for A level Physics teachers in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and beyond.
Our aim is to support busy A level Physics teachers by bringing them up to the forefront of the subject, empowering them to enthuse their students with the latest developments in the field, cutting-edge applications of different Physics concepts and eye-catching demonstrations that help students grasp tricky concepts better. The event is also an exciting forum for us to build stronger partnerships with schools and colleges in the region through the different outreach activities that we run for students or to co-design bespoke extension activities that support the A level Physics curriculum.
Whether you are a new or experienced A level Physics teacher, we look forward to seeing you at Physics Teacher Masterclass – Frontiers in Physics 2025!
