Regeneron Partnership

• Fun with DNA / DIG & DIG Me with Joyce / Art Project (DNA Chain)
Introduction to DNA science, basic genetics, cell biology. Participants with extract DNA from their own cells, plants and more. Partnership with Joyce Sharrock Cole for understand your DNA D.I.G. & D.I.G Me
– 5th through Raising 8th Grader
• Forensic Detectives / Ossining Fire & Police Department Partnership
A look at forensic science, use techniques to analyze a “crime scenes” and collect evidence such as fibers, fingerprints, footprints, hair, and blood. Exploring areas of forensic science including pathology, entomology, and forensic profiling and more. Now with the field being glamorized in shows like CSI.
– Graduating 8th Grader through 10th Grade
• DNA Science / DNA Decoding / Henrietta Lacks / SUNY Race
The DNA Science curriculum introduces students with little or no research experience in molecular genetics to the elegant tools of modern biotechnology and is centered around laboratory work. Each experiment acts as a steppingstone for the next. Students begin with the basic techniques of DNA restriction, transformation, and isolation; then apply them to the construction and analysis of a simple recombinant.
– 9th – 12th Grade
• DNA Barcoding / Green Ossining / Tea Town Lake Reservation
DNA sequence that can potentially identify any living thing. DNA barcoding projects allow students to link molecular genetics to ecology and evolution—with the potential to contribute new scientific knowledge about biodiversity, conservation biology, and human effects on the environment.
– 6th – 12th Grade
• Genome Science / GMOs / Movie Science Captain America
The concept of a genome has been expanded to mean the entire sequence of DNA nucleotides or “letters”
(ATGC) that compose the genetic information within an organism’s set of chromosomes, or all of its genes. Complete genome sequences are now available for humans and many plants and animals. With this information in hand, the next step is for scientists to understand the physiological functions of the thousands of genes.
– 9th – 12th Grade
