Course introduction
Laboratory exercises and excursions are a part of the Danish high school (gymnasium/HF) curriculum. The participants learn to design laboratory exercises and organize excursions. They also gain experience in communicating biological topics at the appropriate proficiency level using different instructional techniques. (The course does not satisfy the paedagogical requirements for teaching at the high school level, but is a supplement to these).
