Modeling Mendel's Pea Experiment
Source Institutions
This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.
Modeling Limits to Cell Size
Source Institutions
This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.
Isolation of DNA from Onion
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells. It includes an optional test for the presence of DNA.
Beginning Statistical Inquiries into the Scientific Method: Jelly-Side-Down
Source Institutions
This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.
Lima Bean Bacteria DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).
Thymus DNA Extractions
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.
How Our Environment Affects Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.
Wheat Germ DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.
Mapping the Homunculus
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.
Onion DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.
Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.
Echolocation Lab
Source Institutions
In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.
Using Bubbles to Explore Membranes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.
Genetics the Easy Way
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
