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

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.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

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 biology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners roll a die to create a simple model that teaches them about the factors contributing to heart disease.

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

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

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

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.
