Join Dr Gurion Ang and other Queensland teachers for a biology-focused Professional Development day which covers best-practice in data processing, analysis and report preparation for new and returning teachers in senior sciences.

This event is held in-person at Villanova College and is our only session for 2024. No online version or recordings will be available.

We'll deliver from a senior biology context but the data analysis techniques and skills we cover are useful to the senior agricultural science, earth and environmental science and marine science syllabuses.

These skills are highly relevant to Internal Assessment 2: Student Experiment, but the concepts and contexts we present are relevant to Internal Assessment 1: Data Test and Internal Assessment 3: Research Investigation.
