Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Isolation of DNA from Onion
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells. It includes an optional test for the presence of DNA.
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).
DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.
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.
Spit Test
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.
How to Extract DNA From Anything Living
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.
Potato Power
Source Institutions
Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.
Paper Proteins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.
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.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
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.
Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.
Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.
