Insect mimicry and Memory game

 Through the observation of live giant stick insects (Eurichanta calcarata)

then try to couple the male and female of a certain species of insect that
has sexual dimorphism by combining the cards in a memory game.

How to  extract a passer-by's DNA

Volunteers will be asked to perform one-minute rinse with half a glass of
carbonated mineral water and with simple household reagents (cooking salt,
dish soap, pineapple juice and denatured alcohol), the formation of the DNA
floccule will be observed. Then the extracted DNA will be returned as a gift
to the owner.

Age: from 6 years onwards
Hours: 17.00
