Options Presentation

Half of the assessment for your options unit will be on a presentation you give to the physics cohort.

Descriptions of concepts

Description and results of at least one practical activity - video

Links to the physics you have already studied

Conclusion

Each student is expected to contribute 8 slides/max 5 minutes to their group presentation. Large groups are expected to give a greater amount of detail and specifics and should possibly look at ideas outside the specific course. You will have to be ready to answer questions at the end of the presentation and defend your research.

This presentation will be peer and teacher assessed.

What to think about when creating your video and presentation - Total Max time 9 mins

Audience: Someone who has done science but perhaps not physics, think yr 10 science standard

Presentation does not have to cover all of your content, but should be related to your video. Make sure you set the scene for the video prac. Make sure everyone in the group has opportunity to present and speak.

Video

Intro: Explain the experiment, what you are trying to show and how it generally relates to your topic (does not have to be too specific at this point).

Body: Your experiment, will need to explain what people are seeing, use PPT to created annotated stills or labelled images, can use voice over and text, but avoid just reading the text.

Explain what is going on with your understanding of the physics. Explain why this is important to particle accelerators.
