This new 2-day course will focus on laboratory skills to support the Advanced Higher Chemistry. Laboratory and other sessions will follow an interactive approach that aims to cover key areas of the Advanced Higher course with a particular focus on experimental and investigative skills.
Practical work will be supported by keynote presentations from external speakers. Combined with opportunities for professional networking, the course offers participants a rich and vibrant programme that will enhance teaching and learning within their institutions.
The Advanced Higher Chemistry course will be held at SSERC, Dunfermline. All meals and overnight accommodation, where required, is included in the course fee.
