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

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

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 construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

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

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

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

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

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

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.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

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.

In this activity, learners work in groups to match craft sticks that represent chromosomes. Learners must define critical attributes of their chromosomes as they look for matching chromosomes.

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

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.
