In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

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

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In this activity, learners follow step-by-step instructions to build a gel electrophoresis chamber using inexpensive materials from local hardware and electronic stores.

In this activity, learners construct a 3-D paper model depicting how histone, acetyl and methyl molecules control access to DNA and affect gene DNA expression.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

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

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

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.
