Saturday DNA! Regeneron - Fall into the Micro World!

Our world is teeming with life, some of it is visible but much of it is too small to see without a microscope. Have you ever wondered what your own cells look like, or what’s really swimming in the Hudson River?  Join us for an exciting workshop, where you can peek into the microscopic world around you. Get ready to find science, surprises, and maybe even some squirmy creatures! Perfect for curious minds, future biologists, and anyone who’s ever asked, “What’s REALLY in water?”

In this session, participants will:

•  Learn how to use a light microscope like a pro;
•  Collect and examine your own cheek cells (yes, your OWN!);
• Prepare a plant slide and zoom in on the cells that keep plants alive; and 
• Investigate water samples from the Hudson River and discover the tiny living organisms that call it home! 

Ages 10 to 14. Chaperone participation is welcome (chaperones must purchase their own ticket), but not required.
