NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! Outbreak! Genetics Learning Lab The Museum of Science and Industry is excited to announce the addition of a new Learning Lab. Outbreak! is specifically designed for high school students. In this 2-hour facilitated lab, students play the role of 'disease detectives' using high-tech microbiology tools. Working in small groups, students use a multi-media Outbreak! computer program to investigate case studies of a local disease outbreak. Students then use high tech equipment including a micropipette and gel electrophoresis to compare DNA samples of known viruses with viral DNA isolated from an outbreak victim. After staining and visualizing their gels, students will report their findings and propose a plan to control the outbreak. Grades: 9th - 12th Capacity: 32 students Fee: $100 per session Offered weekdays at 10:00 starting November 12, 2001. Book your Outbreak! Learning Lab today by calling (773) 684-1414. For additional information call, Becky Lambert at (773) 684-9844 ext. 2075. Please call at least one month in advance to book your Learning Lab. Labs cancelled with less than two weeks notice may not be refunded. -- This is the CPS Science Teacher List.
