In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.
