Twenty-five seventh-grade students from Martin Kellogg Middle School attended the field trip, "Exploring Genetics: Technology, Lab Science, and Human Health". Students engaged in hands-on lab activities to create their own DNA necklace and make petri dish mystery art, demonstrated their new next-generation sequencing knowledge as "DNA data detectives" to match the sequencing data to the NGS instrument, and participated in Mendel Monster creation and gene bingo to learn about genetic analysis tools and human trait variation.
