This class is for students that want hands on activities. Yes, there will still be some lecture aspects to this class, after all there is a TON of material to be covered. However, participants can expect to be kept engaged while learning the material and every class will have a hands on lab component....

Week 1- Edible Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cell Models. Participants will need a plastic Ziploc bag, spoon, Jell-o cup, Nerds candy and either Skittles or M&M's. Week 2- Phospholipids and begin identifying cell structures and functions. Participants will need water, dish soap, Qtips, paper bowl.
