This week is about more complex organisms like  worms, flies, fish, butterflies, rats and mice, humans, ect. The photos you see below are of the worm lab. We wanted to try and do a maze situation in that on one side (the o) we put food (bacteria) and on the other we put a repellent (glycerol) or nothing at all. THe experiments were a complete failure, but we still had lots of fun and learned a lot about C. Elegans.

This is DNA extraction day!
I took some plants from the campus gardens (uups!) and the students got to choose which plant or flower DNA they would like to extract and precipitate.

Some did better than others, but everyone tried really hard to get it right! And the reagents did make it harder to do it well, all because the extraction buffer had a "minor" problem...

This is biology guys! It almost always goes "not so well"! But so does art!

Can someone tell me what is that look all about?
