Laboratory Adventures in the Biological Sciences (L.A.B.S.)
is a fun, hands-on program at Northwestern University
designed for grade-school children (grades 1 through
7) to challenge and excite interests in laboratory-based
biology. The participants will work in small groups
with advanced Northwestern undergraduate student-teachers
to perform experiments that illustrate the excitement
and wonder that science offers. The 2008 L.A.B.S. program
will feature laboratory exercises on biotechnology,
molecular biology, genetics and cell biology. Projects
will include "take-home" experiments that
can be done together with parents and siblings. L.A.B.S.
will take place over four consecutive Saturdays in the
spring: April 26, May 3, 10 and 17, 2008. L.A.B.S. is made possible by the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice
Institute.
