One Day Hands-on Professional Development Workshops

Hope you are preparing new topics for 2009 with lots of simple hands-on activities to keep those minds buzzing

BIOPHARMACY

Biotechnology is Hands on Applied Science Teaching chemistry, history, biology, native plants and herbs, ICT, technical literacy and numeracy skills through project/ product development activities is more motivating than just plain explanation. Learners will learn all the applied skills through hands on projects while making useful medicinal / cosmetic products of their own. An integrated approach is used.

Dates: TBA

Fee: $ 190 Time 10 am - 3pm

Practical electronics / Basic Robotics

A great way to captivate the interest of your students in technology. Motivate them to earn credits in electronics/ science/ physics at NZQA unit standards level 1 &2 in year 10, 11, 12. This is a very interesting yet simple robot car with lots of basic circuits to make and teach. No soldering required, and kit can be used for years. During this PD you will make a robot car to take with you. All notes and unit standard ideas will be provided. No computer programming required. Kit only can be purchased at $ 70 each. It comes with lessons.

Dates: TBA or email us for details

Fee: $ 250 Time 10am - 3pm

Biofuel / Bidiesel making Biofuel is a hot topic.

Create carbon footprint awareness by teaching applied chemistry & biotechnology. You will get to make and take with you biodiesel from used vegetable oil. Lesson plans and other examples of using basic equipment will be shown.

Dates: TBA soon or email us for details

Fee $ 190 Time 10 am --3 pm

Windmill making Generating electricity from natural resources is going to be a major environmental step in the right direction.

Lots of applied physics, material design technology and environmental science can be taught here to the captive minds through making a small wind mill in class to run 50 LED lights or charge up a small battery bank.

Dates: TBA soon or send us an email for details

Fee $ 190 Time 10 am - 3pm
