Physics at Work: Year 10 Visits Cambridge University's Cavendish Labs
Published on 18/09/25
On 16 September a group of keen Year 10 physicists visited the brand new Cavendish Labs at the University of Cambridge for their annual Physics at Work trip with the Physics Department.
They heard from industry experts, including a scientist who researched the hole in the ozone layer at BAS. Students enjoyed hands-on activities like making solar panels, standing on a bed of nails, and building go-karts. Impressively, one of our teams finished third out of 36 schools in the go-kart challenge! This day helped to spread the excitement of modern physics research to students who will soon be making career choices and is an important component in encouraging the next generation of scientists.
