7-12 Workshops

All 7-12 workshops are 60 minutes long. High school mobile lab programs include 4 sessions with 20 students each. High school programs done in the classroom include 4 sessions with 30 students each

Build a Solar Cell (Sponsored by Progress Energy)
Students will build a berry-powered solar cell and explore how to produce electricity from light. Students will also be able to measure the current and voltage of their solar cell.

Genes in a Bottle
Introductory genetics is explored with this educational and fun DNA extraction procedure! The concept of DNA becomes tangible to students as they extract their own genes from cheek cells, using proper lab procedures just as real world scientists do everyday. Once they precipitate their DNA, they preserve it in a take-away bottle of their very own.

Marvels of Mitosis
In this fun and engaging life science workshop, students will review and explore the process of cell division. Using manipulative tools, they will work through the four stages of mitosis. Students will use microscopes to view the life cycle of the cell in onion root tips. This standards-based, hands-on experience will reinforce the concept of mitosis.
