Why don't girls do physics?
Description
Although equally interested at a young age, as students get older the more male dominated the field of psychics becomes. Just one in four A-level Physics students is female. Research into how to encourage more girls to take physics at A-level, suggests the subject should have a stronger link with the real world and that teachers attitude and an exciting curriculum play a huge part in influencing pupils.
