This three-week enrichment program in molecular biology at Iowa State University for twenty high potential rising 7th and 8th grade students will stress both content instruction and science practice through laboratory experimentation utilizing research techniques and equipment. Participants will design, execute and present the results of an independent project and will interact with scientists in industrial, government, and academic laboratories. Twenty five lectures will cover relevant topics in chemistry, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and biotechnology. A college-level text will be used as a reference. Participants will spend a minimum of 20 hours per week in the laboratory, carrying out over twenty projects and developing research skills. The preliminary results of their independent projects will be presented at public forum. Career exploration will be emphasized through interactions with scientists, visits to industrial and government laboratories and formal career planning exercises. Participants will be encouraged to continue their independent research project during the academic year by means of a mentor program, access to research equipment, and a periodic newsletter. They will be assisted in presenting papers at science fairs, symposia and junior academy of science meetings.

这项为期三周的爱荷华州立大学分子生物学的丰富计划针对二十个高潜力的7年级和8年级的学生将通过研究技术和设备通过实验室实验来强调内容指导和科学实践。 参与者将设计，执行和介绍一个独立项目的结果，并将与工业，政府和学术实验室中的科学家进行互动。 二十五个讲座将涵盖化学，生物化学，细胞和分子生物学以及生物技术方面的相关主题。 大学级文本将用作参考。 参与者将每周至少在实验室花费20个小时，进行20多个项目并发展研究技能。 其独立项目的初步结果将在公共论坛上介绍。 将通过与科学家的互动，工业和政府实验室的访问以及正式的职业计划演习来强调职业探索。 将鼓励参与者通过导师计划，研究设备的访问和定期新闻通讯继续其学年的独立研究项目。 他们将协助在科学博览会，研讨会和初级科学学院会议上介绍论文。
