PD1 HSC Physics: Experiments & Investigations 20/03/21
Event Information
About this Event
This workshop has been accredited by NESA for 6 hours of Teacher Professional Development covering the standards 2.1.2, 2.6.2, 3.3.2, 3.4.2.
This workshop begins with teachers building Spectroscopes to examine the emission spectra of a variety of elements. Building upon this, teachers then use data from type 1a supernova to graph recessional velocity vs. distance to the supernova, ultimately finding their own Hubble's Constant.
Teachers then explore the practical applications of projectile motion, examining the motion of toy cars and air rockets and the associated equations and diagrams. The final phase of the workshop see's teachers explore the fundamentals of Electromagnetism . From examining the magnetic fields around various conductors to building a transformer, an AC induction motor and then finally a DC motor.
Completing HSC Physics: Experiments and Investigations before 31 July 2021 under NESA’s interim arrangements will contribute 6 hours of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Accredited PD in the priority area of Delivery and Assessment of NSW Curriculum addressing standard descriptors 2.1.2, 2.6.2, 3.3.2 and 3.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
