Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

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

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

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.
