LabAbstractThere is currently a need for innovative educational experiences that unify and reinforcefundamental principles at the interface between physics, molecular biology, and the chemicalsciences. These experiences also empower students by helping them recognize how thisknowledge can be applied to develop new products and technologies that benefit society. Thispresentation describes our efforts to address this need by creating innovative hands-on labactivities that introduce chemical engineering students to molecular biology by challenging themto harness natural convection phenomena to perform DNA replication via the polymerase chainreaction (PCR).Experimentally, we have constructed convective PCR stations incorporating a simple design forloading and
