Discover biology: Conduct research in a real laboratory
At the European XFEL's Xcool Lab, secondary school students can immerse themselves in the world of molecular biology, ecology, and cell biology in a hands-on way. In our modern biology laboratory, they work on questions relevant to everyday life – such as the detection and analysis of viruses or the analysis of water samples – and carry out typical methods used in current research themselves.
Our courses help students develop the following competencies:
-
Knowledge acquisition and experimentation
-
Dealing with specialist knowledge and models
-
Assessment and reflection
-
Communication and documentation
-
Independent and cooperative work
