In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

In this activity (on pages 22-33), learners do the kind of work genetic scientists do, sorting and comparing (images of) genetic material strands called chromosomes.

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

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

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

In this biology activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use yarn and sticky labels to build a model of a DNA strand. They discover that DNA is very long, very skinny, and packs well into cells.

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

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
