The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

In this activity, learners examine their fingerprints and learn that they can be categorized by shape, but each fingerprint is unique.

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.
