Â鶹ֱ²¥ has provided Rossmoyne Senior High School science students with a taste of what real university science is all about.<\/p>\n
Curtin PhD student and Chemistry Outreach Leader, Lisa Swann, said the program was a great way to increase young people\u2019s interest in science.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an opportunity for young people to gain exposure to the sort of science first year university students undertake,\u201d Mrs Swann said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this experience, we hope to create a greater interest in science amongst these students, which will result in some of them choosing to study science at university.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the chemistry session led by Mrs Swann, the students were required to find the level of acid in vinegar, using a method known as titration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a basic science skill that all university science students need to know,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something a bit different to what they do at school, so they tend to find this exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rossmoyne Science Teacher Dr David Henderson said the program was a valuable way for his students to learn about what science can offer in terms of further study.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany students are unsure about what options they have once they finish school,\u201d Dr Henderson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese visits to Curtin offer students interested in science a valuable way to explore the possible career paths this interest could take them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program was held over four weeks, and allowed Rossmoyne\u2019s Year 10 science students to learn more about chemistry, ion mass spectrometry, pharmacy and biomedical science.<\/p>\n
