Why are we here? Well, if you happen to be a Golgi body, the answer is simple! Young biologists embark upon a journey through the tiny world of cellular organelles with an engaging lesson from the K20 Center. The activities open with an inspiring look at assembly lines and culminate in pupils relating each organelle to its specific task.
