Thirty 7th and 8th grade girls from Catholic schools in Queens took part in Magic in the Lab Day at TMLA. Under the direction of TMLA Chemistry and AP Bio teacher, Mrs. DiMartino, the girls learned basic chemistry and biology principles. The clear - or rather colorful - favorite was learning about polymers. The girls created their own wacky putty. Later they did their own DNA extraction and created the DNA double helix in origami. TMLA has state-of-the-art chemistry and physics labs and an all-new high-tech biology lab is being installed this summer.
