Key Stage 3 Workshops

Physics Outreach Group events for Key Stage 3 focus on the relevance of science, and in particular physics, to the pupils’ everyday lives. By engaging the pupils through fun, interactive demonstrations and simple experiments, their confidence in their own ability to understand science increases. By introducing potential physics careers and where science is needed at this early stage, the pupils are encouraged to consider the Triple (Separate) Sciences option, should it be open to them.
