Training workshop on small scale chemistry

Training Workshop on "New Approach to Chemistry Experiments for High Schools in ASEAN Countries", in the next full day of 30 August 2013. This training aimed to help strengthen Cambodian high school teacher participants to have ideas and innovation in developing small scale chemistry experiments for their teaching and to promote student learning in green chemistry. This First Training Workshop on “Small Scale Chemistry” had been provided by Dr. Supawan Tantayanon, Immediate past President of the Federation of Asia Chemical Society (FACS) and former President of Chemical Society of Thailand (CST), with her five students’ assistance from Thailand. This training is honoured by the presence of Dr. Surin Laosooksathit, President of Chemical Society of Thailand. It should be noticed also that to deliver this one-day training, the team must spend two days in advance for preparation, 28 and 29 August, with assistance from 40 RUPP chemistry students. Since we have no appropriate laboratory space, all practical experiments took place in plain-air and by moving all tables outside and around the meeting hall.
