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.
Forgotten Genius
Source Institutions
This series of chemistry stations is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Each of the six stations features either a chemical or p
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.
Build a Battery
Source Institutions
Learners build a simple one-cell battery and use an ammeter to measure the flow of current.
Wheat Evolution: Dough Washing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.
Wheat Evolution: Dough Rising and Baking
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.
Finding Red
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners systematically investigate which combination of four solutions produces a deep red color.
Exploring Structures: DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.
