+ | <h6>In a collaboration with the Tinkerer’s Club, at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, an event that allows young children to “tinker” with science and engineering, we talked about synthetic biology and the detrimental effect of oil spills on the environment to any children and adults who were interested. The children who stopped by our tables are all interested in science, and we explained to them what synthetic biology is and what they can do to further understand it. At the first table, we talked about safety and what needs to be done in a lab to be cautious. For example, we had the kids identify what aspects of the iGEM lab safety image is. We also explained some aspects of laboratory procedure, how important it is to calculate exact values of different substances, and how to properly and safely use various lab equipment found in professional laboratories. At another table, we allowed children to dip a bird feather into some oil, so that they could see how bird’s body parts are restricted when they are surrounded by crude oil. Moreover, we had a stratified visual of water versus oil in order to demonstrate the difference in polarities of water and oil and thus. We had two stations where we talked about DNA and its structure: the matching game station and the DNA modelling station. At the matching game station, we had children match up base pairs to understand the components of DNA and how the DNA bases A, T, C, G based paired together. At the DNA modelling station, we let children build a double helix with toothpicks and marshmallows to model the transcription and translation components of DNA replication, a vital process of bioengineering concepts. Seeing the children so excited to learn about topics related to our research project helped our efforts in instilling a love and interest for science. </h6> <br> | ||
