Biotechnology Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

DNA the Easy Way
Source Institutions
This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Reebops
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.

Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

Effect of Environment on Plant Growth
Source Institutions
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.

Survival of the Fittest: Battling Beetles
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

Scavenger Hunt: A Group Collection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

Restriction Enzyme Digestion: How does it work? Why is it useful?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA from a virus called Bacteriophage λ, a process known as restriction digestion.

Microarrays and Stem Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use microarray technology to determine which genes are turned on and off at various points in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells on their way to becoming pancreat
