Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.

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

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

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

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.

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.

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.
