Groups 5B and 5G will be going to Biogen IDEC Community Lab on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 to do an experiment on the transformation of E. Coli. Students will don goggles, lab coats and gloves in order to work with scientific laboratory equipment to investigate DNA proteins. We will leave promptly at 8:30 a.m. and return by pick-up at 3:00 p.m. Students are asked to bring a bag lunch (no glass) and non-messy snack to eat in the van in case our lab runs longer. Please wear appropriate clothing if there is a chance of inclement weather as we may have to walk from the parking space to the lab. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to see how interesting and exciting a career in science can be!
