Understand the Chirality in Chemistry
by Department of Chemistry

Science Talk
Date:	March 7, 2022/ March 8, 2022/ March 9, 2022/ March 10, 2022/ March 11, 2022/ March 12, 2022
Time:	3pm - 4pm/ 4pm - 5pm
Venue:	HKU Main Campus
Lanuage:	English
Capacity:	20
Science talk in Chemistry: Optically active (chiral) molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and they play essential roles in biological activities and chemical synthesis. This science talk will introduce different types of chirality in organic molecules, how to analyse these molecules via various techniques, and how to make them through chemical methods, especially the ones developed by the 2001 Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry.

A Visit to SWIMS and The Biodiversity of Hong Kong's Marine Reserve
by School of Biological Sciences

Workshop/ Demonstration
Date:	Available from November 2021
Time:	To be proposed by schools
Venue:	The Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong, Cape d’Aguilar Road, Shek O, Hong Kong (note transport via 28-seater bus is required)
Lanuage:	English
Capacity:	28
Hong Kong has a rich marine biodiversity, but how can we measure this? One way is to use Autonomous Reef Monitoring Samplers deployed on the seabed. Students will have a unique, hands-on opportunity to measure one of these samplers, learn about Hong Kong’s biodiversity and how SWIMS scientists collect this data.

**Please note that teacher(s) shall be included in all capacity requirements listed above.**
