(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, 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.
