Primary students get a taste of tertiary education
24 JUNE 2008
Borenore Public School students from Years 3 to 6 recently became university students for a few hours to further their understanding of micro organisms. The students visited Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Orange Campus where they received a short lecture, used microscopes and looked at and drew fungi and bacteria. They learned basic differences between fungi and bacteria, facts about good and bad micro organisms, and were somewhat unimpressed to return to school with a short homework activity. Associate lecturer at the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences, Mr Yann Guisard, said this was the first workshop he had given to primary school students at the campus. “It all went well and we hope to develop this workshop with other primary schools in the future.”
