Science students return

Outstanding workshops repeated

Remember the Science Enrichment Workshop
for secondary school students held by the
Science faculty last year? Well, this very
successful event is being repeated this
year in February - Thursday the 18th to be
precise. Four outstanding science students
from each of the Senior secondary schools
in the college district will be invited to
attend workshops in Biology, Chemistry,
Geology and Physics. Students will be able
to pick two workshops--one in’ the morning
and one in the afternoon. Topics will in-
clude Extraction of DNA from Salmon Sperm
and Bovine Spleen, determination of con-
centrate of caffeine in cola drinks using
ultraviolet spectroscopy, a look at_ the
Geologic setting of Capilano College in-
cluding its history, materials, slope sta-
bility and earthquake risk, and the meas-
urement of the thickness of a hair using
diffraction of laser light and microwaves
(students must provide the hair). This
will be a great chance for keen students--
just look at the lineup of instructors for
the Biology seminar, for instance. If the
students have any questions they can ask
instructors Dr. Ann Frazier, Dr. Malcolm
Fitz-Earle, Dr. Art Hilliker, Dr. Nancy
Ricker, Ms. Joan Sharp, Dr. Keith Wade or
Laboratory Supervisors Lillian McDonell,
Chris Sanderson and Janet Canning and Lab
Technician Barry Williamson. By the way,
this is also great advertising for the
College. Good luck with the workshops,
everyone.
