Worth noticing
The page specifies a 1:6 mentor-to-student ratio, 48-hour allergy checks, and teacher supervision.

Field notes

The listed experiments range from cabbage biosensors and strawberry DNA spooling for younger students to micropipette dilutions, gel electrophoresis, and NCBI BLAST for grades 6–8. The page assigns cleanup and bleach disposal to mentors while teachers supervise, and specifies allergy checks 48 hours ahead, naming latex, dairy, and plant leaves. The console is presented as a tool-sequence simulation that pauses before the experiment's conclusion.
