The Wellington Trust - STEM sessions
Our free STEM sessions are designed to support the A level curricula in Physics and Maths.
LOCATION - Temple Stairs | Victoria Embankment | London WC2R 2PN
PHYSICS
All sessions are led by a physics specialist who has many years of experience of teaching A-level physics and is a tutor with the Institute of Physics (IoP).
You can tailor the day exactly to the needs of your students by selecting up to 6 activities from the list. Please take the time to Look-at-the-activities-available on our web site.
We are able to host a maximum of 20 students and ask that there are a minimum of two school staff to support due to the nature of the environment. We do ask that members of school staff who are in attendance on the visit are also confident with assisting students with physics at the A level standard.
The study days are FREE and generally held between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm but times can be negotiated if required.
MATHS
After a tour, which covers the historical use of the vessel as a convoy ship in WWII the students will collaborate to explore and work out maths problems introduced through an online platform. All the maths is directly related to the ship through the A level syllabus.
Students will be encouraged to apply concepts and link previous learning to real-world situations in a unique and exciting educational environment.
Curriculum areas covered by our FREE sessions include
Mechanics
Probability & statistics
Positional vectors
Pythagoras's theorem
Transformation of graphs
Trigonometry
We are able to host a maximum of 20 students and ask that there are a minimum of two school staff to support due to the nature of the environment. If you are able to bring three members of staff it allows us to use an additional part of the ship.
We do ask that members of school staff who are in attendance on the visit are also confident with assisting students with maths at the A level standard.
The study days are generally held between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm but times can be negotiated if required. We can also run half day sessions. Whether you choose to visit for the whole day or just half a day we will give you access to the tasks on the platform through passwords, these will remain active for one week. This will then allow you to further explore the tasks in the classroom or through homework.
Give your students the chance to apply their learning to a real world situation and really show their learning and understanding of maths.
