Laser Microscope

Did you know that you can use a laser to see tiny paramecia in pond water? We’re going to build a simple laser microscope that will shine through a single drop of water and project shadows on a wall or ceiling for us to study.

Extracting DNA in your Kitchen

DNA is a long molecule found in the formed by of two strands of genes. DNA carries two copies—two “alleles”—of each gene. Those alleles can either be similar to each other (homozygous), or dissimilar (heterozygous). We’re going to learn how to extract DNA from any fruit or vegetable you have lying around the fridge. Are you ready?

Measuring the Size of a Molecule

Molecules are the building blocks of matter. You’ve probably heard that before, right? But that does it mean? What does a molecule look like? How big are they?

Here’s a cool experiment you can do that will approximate the size of a molecule.

Cool Carrot Osmosis

We’re going to do two experiments on a carrot: first we’re going to figure out how to move water into the cells of a carrot. Second, we’ll look at how to move water within the carrot and trace it. Last, we’ll learn how to get water to move out of the carrot. And all this has to do with osmosis!

Tracking Traits

Why do families share similar features like eye and hair color? Why aren’t they exact clones of each other? These questions and many more will be answered as well look into the fascinating world of genetics!
