Who said we should not play with food? Candies and fruits were attracting hundreds of kids at the Brighouse Science Bash as six UBC Let's Talk Science volunteers taught DNA structure with nothing else than marshmallows, licorice and toothpicks. In addition, kids learned how to extract DNA from kiwis, and were able to make lava lamps with a mixture of oil, water, food dye and Alka-Seltzer. Former UBC LTS coordinator Lars Rose was also present to demonstrate hydrogen-powered cars.
