Be part of the N.E. Love Empower community! We host a variety of educational programs, workshops, STEM activities, tutoring sessions, and professional development events for students, educators, and lifelong learners. All at no cost to the community!
What Participants Will Learn:
The structure and function of plant and animal cells
The role of key organelles (nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, etc.)
The similarities and differences between plant and animal cells
How structure relates to function in living organisms
Participants will:
Construct labeled edible cell models
Compare plant vs. animal cell structures
Engage in guided discussion and scientific reasoning
Take home a deeper understanding of life science concepts
The "Code" of Life: Understand how DNA functions as a coded instruction manual for living organisms.
Base-Pairing Rules: Learn the specific ways nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, G) connect.
Double Helix Structure: Discover the unique twisting shape of the DNA molecule.
Genetic Traits: A foundational discussion on how DNA determines traits like hair color and height.
Construct a labeled, edible DNA double helix model.
Practice the rules of base-pairing using color-coded treats.
Engage in guided scientific reasoning about mutations and genetic coding.
Take home a deeper understanding of heredity and life science.
