About this Event

Give students hands-on experience with model organisms as they learn to recognize levels of organization within plants and animals. This includes viewing cells under a microscope, extracting DNA, and talking to researchers about how these disciplines are used in research! 

 

Some of the guided activities:  

  • Make qualitative and quantitative observations about plants and animals to discover the difference between them. 
  • Make and view plant and animal microscope slides to understand the differences between the two at a cellular level. 
  • Learn how to extract DNA from plants and animals to determine how alike and different they can be.
