Subject Knowledge for Physics Teaching – Forces
Durham University
This blended learning course, delivered by The Ogden Trust, supports non-specialist teachers of physics to develop their subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches for teaching forces at Key Stages 3 and 4. A £600 school subsidy is available on completion of the course.
Learning takes place over an 8-week period and includes the following:
- Full day face-to-face session (3/6)
- Two online webinars.
- Supported online study, including activities and quizzes.
- Face-to-face half day (6/7)
Topics covered are: introduction to forces, deforming forces, frictional forces, Newton’s laws, motion (speed, distance, time), motion (velocity, acceleration, momentum), non-contact forces, forces in action.
Eligibility: This course is only available for qualified teachers in England who do NOT have a physics ITT qualification. This course is for biology, chemistry, science or any other teachers teaching physics at KS3 and/or KS4 outside of their specialist field. Trainee teachers and technicians are NOT eligible to access this course.
