This "concept demonstration" provides learners with a concrete example (a pair of shoes in a classroom "cell") of what homology means.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this simulation game, learners play as predators equipped with genetically different “mouths” (utensils) and hunt for “prey” (assorted beans).

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
