Belvidere School Shropshire gets Fizzics Education

Belvidere School in Shropshire took part recently in a trial VC with Fizzics Education which is a content provider organisation based in Australia.

Fizzics Education's UK sessions are tailored to suit the UK curriculum and cover a wide range of subjects including chemistry, astronomy, human body, dinosaurs, Lego robotics, renewable energy, liquid nitrogen, electricity and magnetism, light, sound, flight and weather.

The session was aimed at 7 - 14 year olds, with all of the class from Belvidere school enjoying the experiments, even if they didn't fully understand all of the concepts behind them.

The time difference between the 2 countries was not a barrier to communication because the session was held at 09.00 AM UK time. Mrs Collier, the class teacher, would definitely recommend this content provider's sessions to other UK schools.
