Biology Major Leads Junior Trolls Science Fair

Biology major Jessica Jacobi ’15 of San Marcos, California, recently hosted the Junior Trolls Science Fair as part of the honors work for her major project.

Held in Trinity’s Heritage Science Center, the fair welcomed 60 students from Daystar Academy, Masters Academy, and a local homeschool group and focused on DNA in the fields of physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and ecology.

“To be able to teach students about how crazy awesome God’s creation is through science and to shape their understanding of the world is something that makes me really excited,” Jacobi said.

“The students had a great time making DNA models, seeing the greenhouse in the science center, and mimicking different experiments that helped discover DNA,” Jacobi said.

Jacobi, who plans to someday teach science at the high school level, decided to host the fair as a culmination of her passion for education and science. She credits the success of the fair to the planning, organizing, and communicating of all the people who helped her create the event.
