Year 12: AgriScope - Microscopes & the Primary Sector (5th June)
Overview
Year 12 AgriScope
Come join us for an exciting day focused on the microscopes in the Primary Sector. The day invites students to look at a range of infomation and visuals that microscopes provide, and how that infomation is used in decision making across a range of sectors and research.
This can be a good introduction or extension for the Biology AS91160, but does not involve assssing the standard. The focus is on the range and varity of microscopic data, rather than the skill of handling a microscope.
The following information will be provided...
- Run sheet of the day with timings
- Parking instructions
- A safety plan for the event
- Student handouts
- Pre and post online survey link
Please note: one of the activities is lab based so students need to wear closed-toe shoes and appropriate clothing for the lab environment. Lab coats will be provided.
Safety plan, parking instructions and event overview will be sent via email.
Includes hands-on activities, lab work and a mini-lecture (study options and opportunities at Lincoln University). See agenda below and please note order of the activites can change.

Microscopic Decisions: Seeing the Small, Thinking Big
Students are in teams of three acting as a consultant firm. With context provided, students use images and data, to figure out answers and make decisions to help those in the Primary Sector. Contexts are wide ranging, with interesting visuals and links to some careers available. This activity is student centred and fast paced.
