Free: physics teaching kit (Castlefields SY1) Expired For science teachers / technicians in Shropshire area. After 20 years of teaching physics, and running teacher CPD on behalf of the Institute oif Physics and then Physics Partners, I was invalided out in 2020. I've hoarded a lot of 'useful physics-y bits and pieces' since then, but it's time for a clear out. So, I'm offering said bits and pieces, mostly in labelled containers, eg optics, magnetism etc, plus several SEP publications and handouts, and a few gizzits for your students. There's also quite a variety of CDs on physics toopics - does anyone still use CDs these days? In total, there's about one car-backseat load (a metric unit, roughly equal to 1/4 cartload). Given the state of school budgets these days, at least some of it ought to come in handy at KS 3, 4 and sixth form, either for demonstrations, a circus or for individual pupil projects. I'll happily deliver to any school in Shropshire or over the borders.
