We believe that physics teaching is a wonderful thing, but are aware not everyone agrees. In the UK more and more non-specialists are getting the opportunity (welcome or otherwise) to shine a light on peoples misconceptions about the World around them.We started this podcast to provide useful information about how some of the best physics teachers we know teach the subject. Nearly always the answer will be ‘do some practical work’, which we know is essential to grounding understanding as well as being fun to do and making lessons easier to manage.

We chat with Callum Farnsworth about his exciting project as an Ogden Senior Teaching Fellow developing resources for use alongside much loved by physics teacher's PHET tools. Callum's website is called 'PHET Effect'.
It's January and hence what better time to also talk about some teaching New Year Resolutions too! Thomas and Callum come up with some super ideas to help students on how to tackle exam questions along with some some creative admin time savers to clear out time absorbing tasks and create some much welcome space for time on the things that really matter to a teacher.
