About

Step into our Mad Scientist Lab for a family-friendly, slightly spooky Halloween introduction to genetics! Meet live reptiles and discover how inherited colors and patterns can be passed from one generation to the next. We’ll explore beginner-friendly concepts such as phenotypes, genotypes, and simple Punnett squares through observation, questions, and approachable examples. Join us for Monster Morphs: A Reptile Genetics Lab and see the science come to life! Best of all, live reptiles will be on site to bring the science to life and spark curiosity. This introductory program is perfect for families and students learning genetics for the first time. Afterwards, there will be a photo op with Ms. Frizzle and Liz! This program is for ages 6 to adult.
