Not Available. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S2054: The Origins of Life in Splash Spring 16 (Apr. 02, 2016)
In this class we will discuss the amazing feat of the formation of life on earth. How did the first chemical building blocks of life form? How were those building blocks organized into cells? How did single cells evolve in complex organisms? And if life formed on earth, how likely is it that it exists on other planets?
S1657: Experiments in Molecular Biology in Splash Summer 15 (Jul. 25 - 26, 2015)
We will discuss many of the important experimental techniques used today to study the cell, macromolecules such as DNA and protein, and disease at the molecular level. Hands on experiments will be performed.
E1241: DNA Experiments in Sprout Fall 2014 (Oct. 04 - 18, 2014)
In this class, we will learn about some important techniques used today to study our genetic material - DNA. We will discuss how these experiments can be used to study topics ranging from evolution to human disease and even perform some of these experiments!
E1243: The Secrets of RNA in Sprout Fall 2014 (Oct. 04 - 18, 2014)
For decades, RNA was thought to be nothing more than a messenger between the genetic information stored in DNA and the proteins that carry out cellular functions. Recently, however, RNA has been revealed to have many new and exciting functions. In this class, we will discuss what RNA is and what some of these new roles are.
A957: Crochet Away! in Splash Spring 14 (Mar. 29, 2014)
Want to learn a relaxing and super-fun craft? Come learn how to crochet while listening to fun jams! Absolutely no experience required.
A958: Tangled Up In Friendship in Splash Spring 14 (Mar. 29, 2014)
Come join us and learn to make friendship bracelets from embroidery thread. It is super easy to learn and the bracelets are very colorful and pretty when they are finished!
S1059: DIY Gene Sequencing in Splash Spring 14 (Mar. 29, 2014)
Have you ever wondered how the human genome was sequenced? How about the ways DNA can be used to solve crimes and cure diseases? In this class, we will learn how DNA sequencing works with a hands-on activity. Come ready to explore the molecule of life!
S733: Experiments in Molecular Biology in Splash Fall 13 (Nov. 09, 2013)
We will discuss many of the important experimental techniques used today to study the cell, macromolecules such as DNA and protein, and disease at the molecular level. Hands on experiments will be preformed.
S734: The Secrets of RNA in Splash Fall 13 (Nov. 09, 2013)
For decades, RNA was thought to be nothing more than a messenger between the genetic information stored in DNA and the proteins that carry out cellular functions. Recently, however, RNA has been revealed to have many new and exciting functions. In this class, we will discuss what RNA is and what some of these new roles are.
T550: The Molecules of Life: DNA, RNA, and Protein in Sprout Fall 13 (Oct. 05 - 19, 2013)
DNA contains the genetic information that makes you who you are. But how does it do this? How does a molecule as small as DNA create organisms as complex as humans? Learn about the key molecules of life, DNA, RNA, and protein, and how these molecules function together to control all the processes in our body.
