Topic: Lisa Lim-Cole presents Modern Physics for Grade 9 and 10 Science

Modern Physics for Grade 9 and 10 Science Physics is everywhere! As teachers, it is our hope to entice young minds to observe the world around them, ask questions and seek answers. During this workshop, three Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (Waterloo, ON) resources will be explored focusing on how the resources may be used for Grade 9 and 10 Science courses.

Everyday Einstein: GPS and Relativity
How does a GPS work? Scientific ideas form the foundation that allows of technological innovations. Let's explore the ideas that led to the GPS!

Mystery of Dark Matter
Tired of students asking you, "What is Dark Matter?". Come and explore the mysterious substance that makes up about 90% of the mass of every galaxy in the universe.

Beyond the Atom - Remodelling Particle Physics
What is everything made up of? What is an atom? Let's explore!

During this workshop, teachers will be provided an opportunity to explore classroom ready activities through discussion and play. All participating teachers will be provided a FREE copy of all three resources. SEE YOU THERE!
