DP1 Learning Journey: Testing Laboratory Visit

On 15th March, our DP1 HL Chemistry students went on an eye-opening learning journey to the ALS Technichem Laboratory in Kwai Chung. The students had the invaluable opportunity to listen to a sharing by Richard Fung, the Managing Director. Using personal anecdotes, he talked about his passion for Science and the highlights of his career. This was followed by a tour of the laboratory, where students were shown advanced biochemical machinery, for example, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer. The students were given an exciting glimpse into the process of extracting and testing materials such as soil, gas and various metals discovered in nature. This process has significant contributions in maintaining sustainability in Hong Kong.
