The MODEL Project

Practical physics at work

We know that students enjoy practical work and that students are more likely to engage with physics if they can see its relevance. The MODEL Project: Practical Physics at Work will help you to provide engaging and relevant practical experiences for your students.

The resource provides ideas for practical physics activities, student instructions and worksheets plus guidance for teacher and technicians. The practical activities are supported by video sequences showing how some people use physics in the jobs they do. The activities were designed for 14-16 year olds and the resource includes links to the relevant UK specifications.

This resource is available on a DVD and is normally sent to affiliated schools and colleges on joining (scheme only open to UK and Ireland schools and colleges and British International Schools).

If you would like a copy of the DVD please e-mail education@iop.org.
