In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

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

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

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

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

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.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

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

Whether it's the genetic code, an ancient language, or patterns of light in a distant galaxy, scientists often have to play the role of decoder.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
