columbia central's dna kids

Slugged my little stick shift car through the snow Thursday to shoot an AP Biology class experimenting with the electrophoresis of DNA at Camp McGregor. The story and photos ran yesterday. Here's the gallery, if you're interested.

Columbia Central junior Megan Peterson uses an electrophoresis machine to separate DNA strands by length so it will be easier to examine Thursday at Camp McGregor.

AP Biology students from Columbia Central High School crowd together for cupcakes during a break in their DNA testing experiment Thursday at Camp McGregor. The class prepared agarose gels to test the electrophoresis of DNA, but their experiment ran into their lunch time, Biology teacher Mike Dickens said. Later in the day, students were rewarded with pizza for their DNA analyzation efforts.
