Physics Busking Bringing science onto the streets EUSEA Conference 2012 Paul Nugent IoP Teachers Network Coordinator Santa Sabina
What is Physics Busking? ‘Busking’ or Street Entertaining is a well established activity in Ireland’s cities. In the same spirit, Physics Busking brings physics demonstrations and concepts on to the streets to the unexpecting shoppers. Central to all this, is the concept that Physics is Fun!!
Who are the Buskers? A group of science and trainee science teachers formed through links with the IOP and the Irish Science on Stage Team. The group meets before the event for a training session. Thanks to CALMAST & Mathsweek events in Spraoi-Waterford Dublin Food Festival-Kilkenny Bath Taps into Science-Bath UK Science Picnic-Warsaw Poland
Science on Stage is a European initiative designed to encourage teachers from across Europe to share best practice in science teaching. • Irish team produces booklets and 50 videos • http://www.scienceonstage.ie/
