Observe your own strawberry DNA through an experiment involving an extraction solution, smashed strawberries, a coffee filter/stirrer, and a few cups, in which you'll immerse yourself into a lab teaching you hands-on knowledge of extracting and identifying DNA.
You will have the chance to construct a workable catapult made of popsicle sticks, rubber bands, a bottle cap and a cotton ball to interpret the methods of visually identifying different forms of energy - potential and kinetic. Use built-up (potential) energy to launch your cotton ball into (kinetic) motion, seeing how far it can launch!
With an LED bulb, copper strings, paper, electrical tape, and a battery, you will develop your own light-up origami circuit demonstrating the flow of energy as a response to chemical reactions in an electric field. Observe each different factor to your circuit, and determine how they all contribute to this energy conversion.
With a mixture of different materials adorned with various, complicated patterns, you'll describe the underlying Fibbonaci Sequence within each object. This activity will require a higher process of understanding and recognizing flow and patterns, incorporating mathematics into everyday life in a way that'll appease students' desire to learn.
