Course Details
For teachers and school laboratory technicians looking to explore the microbiological world at their school, Quantal Bioscience offers Microbiology in Schools: Skill UP Fear NOT.
This is a 1-day (9 am - 3 pm) hands-on teacher and school laboratory technician professional development course conducted in our microbiology research laboratory based at Castle Hill, and is suitable for senior primary to senior high school.
The Skill UP Fear NOT foundation course covers best practice microbiological safety, ensuring teacher and school laboratory technician familiarity and competency in handling Risk Group 1 microorganisms in school classrooms and prep rooms, including a range of introductory microbiological techniques, from autoclaving, preparing media, diluting, plating and incubating to microscopy. Our practical approach will give you confidence to safely bring the microbiological world into your classroom and engage your students!
Microbiology-focused classroom demonstrations and practical investigations by students provide engaging content that can link into the Science curriculum from Stage 3 to Stage 6. Beyond the obvious importance of microorganisms in human, animal and plant health, microbiology-focused experiments are an expedient classroom device to demonstrate the diversity of ecosystems, and the many and varied interactions between the living and physical worlds. Across all Stages, microbiology investigations will enhance the development of skills in Thinking Scientifically and Working Technologically. Students participating in microbiology investigations may also gain knowledge and understanding of the Living World content.
For Stage 6 Biology, Science Extension, and Investigating Science, the integrative science of microbiology offers an accessible platform from which to launch student Depth Studies or Research Projects. Many microbiological methods and technologies are compatible with high school laboratories, and there are countless opportunities for students to frame their investigations within the context of contemporary Australian and international research.
