(one of our Physics Bout)
We welcomed the A-level Physics students from Oldbury Wells for a free-fall session, meaning that we discussed the concepts of things falling in a variety of contexts: gravitation (moon orbiting as it falls), Millikan's droplets, vortices in quantum fluidsd, etc. We had students run their own experiment and try to compute the terminal velocity of magnetic braking. Chloë, our Course-Rep for Level 5, did provide some insights and feedback from the students' point of view.
