Well, us physics teachers help you students out, so now it's your turn to help us (In particular... ME!)
My school is going into it's first year 12 cohort starting next year (HSC course begins next term)
I am just wondering, what are some of your best memories of the HSC Physics course? Or preliminary course for that matter.
What are some things that you found/find interesting? Some good demo's or experiments, discussions etc...
What do you find most helpful? Do you like lots of calculation questions? Or understanding theories? Discussions? Research tasks?
In my class, I often drift off topic and talk about the universe, drakes equations and even implications of relativity (I love modern physics, stars and flashy thingys) and during electrical energy in the home i could not shut up about my sub woofers, lmao.
My class is fantastic, a good bunch of students, most of whom are very willing to work hard and their aptitude has shown, where their avg mark was about 15% ahead of chemistry and 10% ahead of Biology, a statistic I am very proud of, this being the first time anyone has taught preliminary physics at the school (and first time I have ever taught it)
I would like to make it as engaging as I can for them and want to take tips/suggestions from you guys with regards to some interesting things you have done in your class or would like to do
Cheers
