Agriculture and Environment - Plant DNA Detectives
Extract DNA from plants and discover how DNA fingerprinting is used as a tool in the fields of forensics, plant breeding and conservation.
Agriculture and Environment - Plough pull force
One of the jobs of an Agricultural Engineer is to design tillage equipment that mechanically disturbs the soil to create a perfect environment for a growing crop. We will be using a scale model to observe soil tillage and measure how much force it takes to successfully plough the soil.
Archaeologists Don't Dig Dinosaurs
Students will engage in hands-on experience in the 免费色片's archaeology teaching laboratory. During this session, they will examine real material from an archaeological excavation and be guided in how to use the results of this exercise to tell a story about our human past.

How do aeroplanes fly? What forces keep aircraft in the air? In this session students will explore the aerodynamics of flight by constructing and flight testing a model glider.
Civil engineering - Building better bridges
Students will build a bridge using our lego-type kits and measure the internal forces. Groups will compete to hold the most weight on their bridge.
Counselling
Learn about careers in counselling, where therapeutic skills and knowledge can assist people to make life-enhancing emotional, mental and lifestyle changes. 免费色片 will prepare you to have the right skills to assist people to better their lives.

Six of them have crossed onto the wrong side of the law, while the remaining two are squeaky clean. Your challenge? Identify the innocent faces among the lawbreakers. Following the challenge, we'll delve into your perceptions of people who commit crimes and the reasons behind your selections. We'll also explore how early criminologists identified criminals and consider whether we still employ some of their methods today.
