Organ and tissue donation saves lives. One donor can transform the lives of up to 10 people and significantly improve the lives of many more, and in Australia there are around 1,500 people on organ transplant waiting lists at any one time.
Join us for this free teacher professional learning event on organ and tissue donation. Taking you through the science of cells, tissue and organ systems, to introducing ethical discussions on organ donation into your classroom, this event and associated resources will help year 8-9 teachers integrate organ donation into their science lessons, aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
This event is sponsored by the Organ and Tissue Authority
What you’ll get:
•Free RiAus The Gift of Life PDF teaching resource which include classroom activities
•Certificate for 2 hours Professional Learning
Also coming up in June:
RiAus PDplus: Crystallography
Date: Wednesday 25 June, 2014
Time: 3:45 – 4:30pm ACST
Watch live online: riaus.org.au/livestreaming
Free, registration required at riaus.org.au/events/pdplus-crystallography/
2014 is the UNESCO International Year of Crystallography, celebrating 100 years since X-ray diffraction allowed scientists to study the detailed structure of crystalline materials. Now crystallography is used in practically all science disciplines, from geologists analysing and dating meteorites to chemists synthesising new drugs to fight disease.
This online session will outline the scientific principles behind crystallography, how it is being used currently, and the problems it could help to solve in the future. Potential career paths and in-class activities will also be discussed.
