The student lab is for pupils in classes 8-12 in all kinds of schools. The program varies, but here are some of the topics: plant biotechnology, traditional breeding, molecular marker- and RNAI-technology, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, esterification, agriculture and world population and a lot more …
The costs for the visit to the student lab and the meal expenses are sponsored by Bayer CropScience. Schools only have to pay for the transfer to the site.
We don’t assume any prior level of knowledge. We don’t want the pupils to feel under pressure to succeed.
Normally the class gets divided into 3 groups, one in each lab. In cases where all of the students are studying only chemistry or only biology we make exceptions. Please address your request to us.
Teachers either have the opportunity to be an observer or they participate themselves during the day. They will hand over their role as teacher and responsible person to the tutor in the Baylab plants.
It is obligatory that they accompany the group. He or she will have an opportunity to observe the group and learn about how they do. Their role will change anyway. Inside the student lab, our employees will be lead of the group.
The Baylab plants is open every Tuesday and Thursday. It is closed during school holidays.
