3D-Modeling Your Future - The Amazing DNA Molecule
Date: April 19, 2024
Time: 10:00 - 3:00 PM
Cost: $70.00 per student ($25.00 non-refundable fee & $50.00 STEM Equipment Cost plus snack)
Location: TMHCC 4204 Lark Ridge Drive Raleigh, NC 27604
The Objective in the 1st phase – In this science project students will analyze DNA samples from a Mock Crime Scene using DNA Gel Electrophoresis chambers and use their data to compare molecules in different DNA Mock Crime Scene samples to solve the crime. Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. In gel electrophoresis, the molecules to be separated are pushed by an electrical field through a gel that contains small pores. Students learn modern techniques used in Biochemical Engineering and techniques used in genetic laboratories. For example, Gel electrophoresis is used to create DNA fingerprints from crime scenes and suspect samples.
