Join Matt Dodds to learn about all things Electromagnetism as it relates to syllabus outcomes. This Physics workshop is practical in nature, and requires the use of a laptop with Microsoft Excel for data collection and analysis. This online Electromagnetism workshop can be logged as 5 Hours Professional Development and Certificates will be emailed to attendees after the course has been completed.

The workshop price includes an equipment pack within the ticket, that is sent to the attending teacher to be used on the and is YOUR'S TO KEEP. So we can complete the activities together on the day of the workshop. This includes:

Lenz's Law Copper Pipe Set
300 Turn Transformer Coil
DC Motor Kit
Force on Conductor Kit

Teachers begin by exploring the properties of Magnetic Fields around Current Carrying Wires such as loops and solenoids. We will also measure the magnetic field inside a solenoid and use this value to find the magnetic field constant Uo.

Next we examine Forces on Current Carrying Wires and Charged Particles within Magnetic Fields through a variety of practical examples.

The fun continues with electromagnetic induction utilizing the supplied materials to demonstrate both Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction and Lenz's Law. These investigations also link Lenz's Law to the principle of conservation of energy.

Then we move on to all things Transformers. We will explore the working principals of Transformers through a variety of practical experiments.

As a final hands-on activity teachers will build a working DC Motor. This particular activity consolidates many of the outcomes taught during the workshop from the force on a current carrying conductor within a magnetic field, to Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction.

At Science with Mat Pty Ltd we are all about improving the way science is taught. After running this workshop for nearly 4 years it is finely tuned and gets your students engaged and with a clear understanding of the Electromagnetism concepts taught. Enjoy the thrill of the discoveries made throughout this course!

REVIEW: "The hands-on aspect was fantastic, and then applying mathematical modelling and graphical analysis - really strengthening understanding as well as application of these concepts. As were the little take-away points regarding the fairly inexpensive equipment to use in the classroom." Rachel
