Girls in Physics: Videos

Two videos to illustrate the messages of the Girls in Physics review and teachers' guide.

'Saving Nellie'

A scripted drama showing two teachers struggling to change their teaching to 'save' their student Nellie's interest in physics.

'Key Stage 3/4 Science: Girls in Physics'

A Teachers' TV documentary featuring a real lesson showing how a teacher attempts to ensure that girls are engaged in the lesson.

The aims of the videos are:

• to present the inportant findings of research in an accessible and entertaining way;

• to show teaching approaches that will promote effective learning of physics amongst all students, and to encourage girls to consider continuing with the subject;

• to stimulate discussion among teachers about their own practices;

• to encourage school departments to review their teaching and learning strategies.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
