About the learning resource:
A series of videos and practical learning activities, which have been developed by Jana Adamovska.
The learning resource are designed to help pre-service and in-service teachers develop understanding of scientific inquiry, focusing on manipulative experimental research design applications in chemistry and biofuels, and for the classroom.
About the scientist:
Jana graduated as a Chemical Engineer from the Slovak University of Technology. Currently, she is completing her PhD at Queensland University of Technology. Her research interest focuses on optimisation of the thermal liquefaction process for second and third generation feedstocks for the production of bio-crude oil suitable for diesel and ships engines.
