Who is this course for?
Training in this program is intended for a wide range of students over 14 years of age, high school students, general education teachers schools, students of non-core universities, everyone interested in the natural sciences, interested in an in-depth study of some aspects of analysis environmental objects using chemical and biological methods that can be used in project activities schoolchildren.
What will you learn?
As a result of mastering the program you:
• acquire theoretical and practical skills in planning, preparing and performing analytical determinations in modern laboratory working in the field of research of environmental objects (water, soil, grounds, biological objects)
• gain knowledge of conducting research work in the field of analysis of environmental objects using methods of qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis.
• become familiar with the basic methods of cultivation, recording and identification of the main taxonomic groups of microorganisms;
• will be able to analyze the experimental results obtained, draw conclusions and formulate proposals in the relevant field of research.
How are classes going?
Classes in the program are held in the form of lectures and laboratory classes. Upon successful completion of the training, students are issued a certificate
