- Summary:
- "Science teacher Lucy Hutt leads a specially extended lesson that covers DNA and proteins, cancer and its underlying causes before the pupils view the film 'Cancer and The Genome'. The students perform a bacterial transformation experiment that involves putting a 'glow' gene from jellyfish into a bacterium called E. coli. The practical demonstration rounds off a very successful session. The pupils demonstrate an amazing knowledge of DNA and make some very insightful comments about the problems of diseases like skin cancer."
