S04 BERG: Towards transition-driven civic science This talk discuses the transition to new forms of science engagement that respond to ‘wicked’ sustainability challenges. These ideas assume that any data gathered through civic science initiatives can provide useful input to conservation science and can simultaneously empower citizens to engage in debates about local and global sustainability issues. Prof. Justin Dillon - University of Bristol

T44 Study Like an Athlete: A how-to guide There should be little difference between how athletes train and students study. Athletes achieve mastery through short training sessions, repeating things until they know them. A technological, data-led approach can lead to a revision revolution, recreating these methods and techniques for students, allowing everyone to reach their potential.

Highlighting selected Frederiksen lab manuals, we will investigate acceleration and speed: From Galileo’s inclined plane – over free fall, conservation of momentum, the speed of sound, and supersonic speeds – to finally measuring the speed of light. Instead of Galileo’s water clock, we use electronic timers and an oscilloscope as our stopwatch. Henning Shou - Timstar www.timstar.co.uk
