Owen Middle School has received a $5,000 grant that is enabling its seventh-grade science students to study genetics through Owen’s Genetics Explorer Project.
The goal of the Genetic Explorer Project is to provide seventh-grade students with an authentic look at the study of genetics through experiential education that uses DNA extraction and electrophoresis, a lab technique that separates macromolecules by their size. The project is also designed to spur interest in the pursuit of higher education.
