Lean, Mean Information Machine: Using a Simple Model to Learn about Chromosomal DNA
Source Institutions
Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

Lima Bean Bacteria DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).

The Game of Life: Stem Cell Edition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.
Hexagon Hunt
Source Institutions
This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

Pom Pom Potential
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

Jumpin' the Gap
Source Institutions
In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake

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

A Simply Fruity DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

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