This week, the GenomiX team organized a scientific master class for students of S. Lastayev Secondary School in Katon-Karagai village. The students plunged into the world of science with interest, asked questions and enthusiastically participated in experiments.
As part of the master class, the children conducted several fascinating experiments related to biology and chemistry. One of the most impressive experiments was the extraction of DNA from fruits.
The experiment “Chemical Clock” also one of the most interesting experiments. This is an exciting experiment that awakens interest in chemistry, develops time measurement skills and helps to understand the role of catalysts in chemical reactions. Available chemical reagents were used for the experiment.
In addition, the children enjoyed making “Elephant Toothpaste”. As a result of the chemical reaction, a large amount of foam was released. Movement of the foam resembled the process of squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, and its amount would be enough even for an elephant!
