Biotechnology: Hands on Science & Critical & Scientific Learning

Educators will participate in hands-on activities designed to inspire critical and scientific thinking and how these activities relate to food science. Activities will include DNA extraction from wheat germ, good testing for fat and startch, using cabbage jucie chemistry to test for acids and bases, and many more. We will take experimentation to its next step and reflect upon the implications of our results to determine how biotechnology impact our food suppoly and our health. You will be provided with resources to implement these activities in your formal or informal classroom.
