Two day workshop for VCE Chemistry teachers

This event has already taken place.

Monday 24 November 2014 to Tuesday 25 November 2014
Wednesday 27 November 2013 to Thursday 28 November 2013

The College of Engineering & Science of Victoria University is offering a two day workshop, entitled Modern chemical instrumentation, to teachers of VCE Chemistry. The content of the workshop is matched to the topics covered in Unit 3 of the VCE Chemistry course.

The intensive, hands-on nature of this workshop will be attractive to teachers who may not have formally covered chemical instrumentation in their tertiary studies and to those teachers who wish to be brought up to date with current instrumentation capabilities.

Workshop dates

Option 1: Monday 24 November and Tuesday 25 November.

Option 2: Thursday 27 November and Friday 28 November.

Cost

The all-inclusive cost of the workshop is $350 (incl. GST) for the two days (half workshops are unsuitable for the scope of this activity). A certificate of attendance will be presented at the conclusion of the second day.
