Workshop 1: DNA Extraction – Seeing your DNA!
You’ve probably learned or heard about DNA, but have you ever seen it? With the Fruit DNA experiment, you’ll extract, isolate, and observe the DNA of a fruit in a matter of minutes. It sounds impossible, but thanks to special characteristics of strawberries, it’s actually very possible… and simple. You don’t have to be a geneticist and you don’t need an electron microscope. It’s easy, fun, and all you need are some household materials.
Workshop 2: Grow Bacteria – Zoom in to Microbial World
The world is teaming with microbes. That fact is never so graphically apparent as when someone actually takes the time to culture the bacteria and yeast growing on everything — from pillowcases to toilets to eyeballs. Fortunately, many of these microbes are vital to human health.
See how cleanliness and refrigeration affect bacteria growth.
