Cell Lab

Learn about cells in the Cell Lab in the Human Body Gallery.

Get hands-on experience with laboratory experiments and activities.

Students work with real lab equipment while learning about cells, DNA, enzymes, or bacteria.

Use microscopes to see a variety of cells up close. Your friends can see what you are looking at through the microscope, on the monitor.

Experiments range from 15 minutes to 30 minutes long. Some experiments are for ages 8+, while others are for ages 10+ or 13+. Hours for the lab vary and it is first come, first-served.
