There are some ideas in science that seem to cause problems of understanding for many people. This TEDx talk gives some examples of these and goes on to ask questions about their origin and whether there is anything, as educators, we can do to help.
Science and physics teacher Jonathan Burslem comes to our event from Beijing BISS International School where he has taught MYP science and DP physics for the last four years. Prior to that he taught in the IB programme in schools in Sudan and Turkey for four years and GCSE and A level physics for sixteen years in the UK. He holds an undergraduate degree in engineering from Brunel University, London and a postgraduate teaching certificate from Nottingham University, UK. He is a keen cyclist and loves exploring Beijing on a tandem with his wife Amina.
