DNA for Dinner
with Charles County 4-H
Wednesday, December 09
6:00pm - 7:00pm
What does DNA have to do with the food on your dinner table?
Join Charles County 4-H for a fun, hands-on STEM program exploring the connection between DNA, plants, agriculture, and the foods we eat!
Participants will learn the basics of DNA and how traits are passed from plants to the foods we enjoy. Through interactive activities, they’ll build a candy DNA model, explore plant traits and family connections, and even extract real DNA from strawberries! Along the way, participants will discover how science and agriculture work together and how the foods we eat have changed over time.
This engaging program is designed for elementary and middle school students and is a great opportunity to explore biology and agriculture through hands-on STEM activities.
Registration is required. Families registering multiple children should register each participant separately.
