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

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

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.

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

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).

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

In this activity, learners follow step-by-step instructions to build a gel electrophoresis chamber using inexpensive materials from local hardware and electronic stores.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

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

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

In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

In this activity, learners construct a 3-D paper model depicting how histone, acetyl and methyl molecules control access to DNA and affect gene DNA expression.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

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

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

This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.
