Student reflection
Work experience at Deakin university science laboratories is great. We have been working in laboratories and were given a booklet to enter our results and observations.
So far at Deakin we have tested ourselves for staphylococcus a disease that’s present in 40% of humans and is relatively harmless. We have examined the disease through a microscope and saw how it looked. We also used things like dyes and alcohols to examine other items through the microscope. Additionally, we have talked about natural selection and played around with beads, toothpicks, hair pins and hair ties to learn about them.
We also tested water for PH, Temp, NTUs and the like. We also used binoculars to document birds in the nearby park and used a tracker to track photos of animals in Australia.
There is so much to do and learn.
