CSI Orange: How to use DNA to Solve a Crime
Who committed the crime? Investigate how polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to magnify DNA. Learn how to visualize the DNA by running a gel, and you’ll be able to determine the identity of the true suspect.
Presented by Melissa Rowland-Goldsmith, PhD, Professor of Biological Sciences and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chapman University

May 3 — EXTRA Workshop
Home Chemistry Lab: A STEAM Event
Get ready to explore the chemistry of everyday household items. In this STEAM event, we will discover the fascinating chemistry of everyday items found at home. From uncovering iron in breakfast cereal to creating invisible ink with lemon juice, we’ll investigate the science that powers everyday experiences. We’ll uncover the magic of sodium polyacrylate from diapers, create fizzy reactions with Alka-Seltzer, and more. These hands-on experiments are designed to spark curiosity and connect chemistry to the world around us.

Neighborhoods to Nurdles: How We are Connected to Ocean Ecosystems
Many of our friends and neighbors love beach clean ups, but did you know that climate change plays a role in how much trash you might find? In this event you will learn about how climate-accelerated weather patterns, industrial emissions and pollution, and nature-based climate solutions interact to shape beach ecosystems in our local area.

Getting Ready to Grow — Free Seeds at OPL
Seeds are available to all interested gardeners during regular library hours. The library is simple to use; sign up for a membership, choose your seeds, take them home and plant! At the end of your growing season, if you harvest seeds, bring some back to the library to share for next year's planting season. The Orange Seed Lending Library has four locations — on the 2nd floor of the Orange Public Library & History Center, at the El Modena and Taft Branch Libraries, and Orange Home Grown Farmer's Market on the third Saturday of the month.
