Students in Bethpage’s Argonaut Program visited the Cold Spring Harbor DNA Learning Center on Jan. 5.
During this exciting trip, the students extracted wheat germ DNA and looked at the genetic mutations of fruit flies. In addition, the students learned about Otzi, the 5300-year-old mummy that was found in the Tyrolean Alps. It was a great experience.
