1: DNA
Topics: -DNA as the information storage molecule in all living things. -Organization of DNA within cells. -Molecular structure of DNA -DNA structure model.
Activity: Puzzle board game to learn how DNA is copied.
2: Genes
Topics: -Genes as functional units of DNA -Organization and parts of a genes -How do the genes work? -Central dogma of molecular biology.
Activity: Puzzle with multiple options to explain gene function through the central Dogma. -Use of common examples.
3: Proteins
Topics: -Proteins as carriers of most biological processes -Types of proteins -Examples of common proteins -The genetic code
Activity: Build a protein from DNA code (translation), Protein models.
4: Genetic Engineering
Topics: -Recombinant DNA technology -Restriction enzymes, ligase and vectors -Examples.
Activity: Build a recombinant DNA molecule with colored cables and transform a cell.
5: Synthetic Biology
Topics: -Universality, modularity and abstraction of bioparts -Synbio as the application of engineering concepts to biology -Advancements in DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies.
Activity: Construct a genetic circuit on a board and estimate time and costs to build it.
6: Biobricks
Topics: -BioBricks as standard DNA parts - Parts of a BioBrick - Types of BioBricks. -Biobrick assembly -The Registry of Standard Biological Parts
Activity: Put compatible bricks together.
7: Biological machine
Topics: -Imagine the possibilities -Addressing high impact problems through biomachines. -Metabolic load -Advantages of biomachines over robots.
Activity: "Labyrinth of metabolism" so that the visitor knows that "parts" must be manipulated to make a organism perform certain function.
8: Applications of SynBio
Topics: -Impact of SynBio in a wide variety of areas - Examples of issues solved through SynBio (How do these projects work?)
Activity: The visitor must correlate a specific genetic circuit to its application area.
9: iGEM
Topics: iGEM as the biggest synthetic biology competition, rules, motivation, scope. - iGEM UANL 2011 and 2012 -CIDEB-UANL 2012
Activity: -Explain our 2011 project -Exhibition of the light-machine used in our project -Explain CIDEB's 2012 project
10: Ethics and Biosafety
Topics: -Ethics definition -Human quality of life -Good and ugly -Impact awareness -Acceptance of SynBio -Potential problems -Precautions taken to prevent them -Biosafety levels
Activity: Dress with biosafety equipment (lab coat, glasses, gloves…) as fast as possible!
Jr. High School Visits [ Back]
|
Colegio Labastida Our team was a special guest, where we were part of the anual science fair; we made our presentation before approximately 300 children from different grades at junior high level. We completed the banana DNA extraction in a demonstrative exhibition; kids showed curiosity and interest towards the topic during the talk and the DNA extraction activity. |
|
|
Colegio Independencia 
|
We were invited to present our talk to last year junior high student, who were very interested in the topic; we perfomed the DNA extraction with whole groups. |
|
Escuela Secundaria # 3 We participated with our talk and the project generation activity, using some already registered BioBricks; satisfactory results were obtained, as kids presented their own projects, showing that they understood the concept of Synthetic Biology and iGEM. |
|
|
Colegio La Salle We were invited to give our talk and to perform our activity of generating a Project using BioBricks. Kids were very enthusiastic. We also presented an introduction to Synthetic Biology and performed the DNA extraction. |
|
Secundaria # 83 The team was invited to this junior high school in the municipality of Guadalupe. We gave our introductory talk about Synthetic Biology and performed the banana DNA extraction. |
