The Oide Post Primary Science team are facilitating teacher-led collaborative for teachers of Leaving Certificate Physics for the new specification. This face to face collaborative will provide a platform for teachers to share ideas and thinking on specific areas, themes and approaches to teaching, learning and assessment in the Leaving Certificate Physics classroom. Teachers will also identify future areas of focus and work on these collaboratively during the event. Registr

Book now for IOP Physics Hub on Thursday 15 Jan at 7pm online. We look at CERN and the physics that underpins this European Organization for Nuclear Research. Ireland’s Associate Membership of CERN could be transformative for the future of our students. The work going on at CERN is multi-disciplinary, involving research, engineering, computing and technology.  In addition to deepening our understanding of fundamental physics, CERN has led to the creation of the World Wide Web
