Pracs for science teachers

Mcebisi Mazantsi of Thandokhulu High School and Shuna Hodges of Livingstone High School were among 80 science teachers who attended the Department of Chemical Engineering's annual Chemical Engineering Science Teachers' Afternoon on 18 Nov.

The event was organised by Rene Toerien, who also co-ordinates a project that's developing resource materials for teachers.

The afternoon included practical investigations and discussion on open-ended experiments, and ended with a presentation by Prof Richard Gunstone, Emeritus Professor of Science and Technology Education at Monash University, Australia, on "Helping students learn from practical work".
