Event Details

Welcome to the Core Biology Concept Workshop! This is aimed for upper-elementary and middle school students interested in gaining a headstart to high school biology and those passionate about exploring critical biology topics through lab activities modeling biological processes and simulated lab procedures. For ages 10-13.

October 18 topic: The Central Dogma In this lesson, we will learn about the process of DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Specifically, we will investigate the individual steps that occur to ensure that this process occurs uninterrupted at the molecular level. We will also talk about the structures of major information molecules such as DNA and RNA, their functions, and the functions of other components of the process like enzymes that ensure the process is successful. 

About the Presenters: 

The Core Biology Concept team is composed of passionate high school students from a variety of STEM clubs at Canyon Crest Academy. Our mission is to introduce middle school students to biology with the help of lab-based activities in natural selection, genetics, and more. Finally, we intend on generating curiosity and developing an enjoyment of learning that can be applied to any future profession.
