In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

DNA From an Onion
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

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.

Inside DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

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