A NEW film celebrating science teaching and the art of science demonstrations will be launched at two screenings in York and London.
Demo: The Movie, is a short documentary which follows physics teacher Alom Shaha as he explores the art of science demonstrations, travelling from the University of York to the San Francisco Exploratorium and meeting educationalists, science communicators and magicians along the way.
After the launch today, the film will be freely available from 6pm at www.getsetdemo.com/films.
The film has been made as part of Get Set Demonstrate, a British Science Association campaign, supported by the Gatsby Foundation to encourage secondary teachers to get more out of science demonstrations.
The launch event in York is being held at the National Science Learning Centre, at the University of York, today from 5pm to 8pm.
