A broadcast room will be prepared acoustically. Students explore the definition of Biotechnology and its vast array of applications within the community. To ensure the students can understand the manner in which genetic information is transmitted from organism to offspring, some cell biology is studied, including the use of both compound light and electron microscopy. This is followed by an in depth study of the DNA molecule, culminating in the students extracting DNA in a laboratory activity. Enzyme biochemistry is then examined with special emphasis placed on the application of enzymes in industry.
Students can delve into the process of DNA profiling.
The cost effective ecological water purification plant will play an integral role in the success of the school farms conservational aquaculture centre. In 1998 two fish tanks were used for a successful trout grow out. Indications in fisheries suggest that the growth of trout in inland salt lakes is likely to become a very important profitable diversification for farmers in the Great Southern. The college wishes to give students the opportunity of having some training and experience in the possibilities of using inland salt water as a productive resource. The project is an experiment in growing trout in salt and freshwater conditions.
