IOP Teachers of Physics Awards

The Teachers of Physics awards celebrate the success of secondary school physics teachers who have raised the profile of physics and science in schools. We know that teachers contribute an immense amount to society, and we wish to accord them the recognition they deserve.

With these awards, we honour teachers alongside distinguished research scientists and industrialists.

In this way we recognise that without dedicated teachers there would be no physics research community or technological base in society.

The winners receive a prize of £1,000, an engraved glass paperweight and a certificate.

There is a common application system for all teachers in England, Ireland and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales but judging of the awards will take place using separate national panels.

Nominations are now open and close on 23 April 2021.

Put students at the centre of the action with Energy Quest!

We’re calling on all students aged 11 to 14 to help us save the day. In this new workshop, they’ll embed learning about energy sources and energy transfer as they put themselves in the shoes of engineers to design a solution to power a mobile phone.

This free 2-hour Energy Quest workshop, funded by Shell, is a great way to revisit core curriculum content and bring relatable role-models into the classroom.

Would you like a trained facilitator to run a remote session with your students? We’re booking workshops for the summer term and beyond – get in touch today to reserve your spot!

Digital Skills  activity for Primary Teachers: Delivering a computer programme session through Lego Robotics

Tuesday May 4th, 4pm - 5pm Online

Join the team at British Computer Society South Wales. Having developed a workshop for KS2 pupils they are now working with 3 primary teachers supporting the digital skills competency framework for the new curriculum.

The team welcome reaching out to more schools with these unmissable opportunities:

Resources, support for teachers, live online workshops for pupils and a lesson plan to assist classroom learning.

Teachers and STEM Ambassadors are welcomed to take part in the session.

Using LEGO EV4 kits pupils gain expertise in programming, construction, problem solving, critical thinking, numeracy and creativity.

Part of the workshop includes literacy and creative ideas using investigations relevant to everyday life.

Available to book now – Chemistry of COVID workshop for years 5 to 8.

See Science, with funding from the Royal Society of Chemistry, have developed a brand new Chemistry workshop based on COVID-19. We aim to answer questions children everywhere are likely to have following a global pandemic.

The full workshop will involve 3 different sessions, approximately 50 minutes each. The first will be delivered by See Science and will be an introduction to viruses, COVID-19, pandemics and vaccines. This will then be followed by a teacher-led session with hands-on activities for pupils to carry out with all materials/resources provided. Finally, there will be a third session, again delivered by us, which will include a debate activity and plenary.

We can deliver remotely, and the three sessions can be run in one day or spread out over a few days - to suit the school.
