With the Iron Scientist championship on the line, a team from
Emory's PRISM program vied to teach a 7-minute science lesson featuring
the competition's
secret ingredient: paper cups. Jacob Kagey (graduate student), Malaika
Jordan (biology teacher), and Jordan Rose (PRISM program manager) demonstrated
how cups could be used to model DNA structure, protein synthesis, neurotransmission,
and evolution. While the presentation did not win, it was one of the
only ones to feature biological rather than physical science concepts.
The Iron Scientist Competiton was part of the National
Science Foundation GK-12 Program Annual Meeting in March 2007.
