Join us to learn about Charles Darwin, his theory of natural selection, and compete with your own critter in the game of survival!About this Event
As we approach the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s historic voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, join us in discovering the science behind his groundbreaking theory of natural selection! In this session you’ll create an organism using the coded instructions from a DNA sequence, and test its ability to survive in a variety of environments. Will your creation stand the test of selection? Participants will:
- learn about DNA’s genetic code;
- build an organism with specific traits by analyzing and comparing DNA sequences;
- explore how evolutionary forces shape populations over time;
- compete in the ultimate challenge: the game of survival!
Ages 10-13, one adult chaperone required. Chaperones must purchase a ticket and fully participate in all program activities.
