Is That DNA in My Food?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

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.

Effect of Environment on Plant Growth
Source Institutions
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.

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 the Easy Way
Source Institutions
This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

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.

DNA Nanotechnology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

How to Extract DNA From Anything Living
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

DNA Extraction: Look at your genes!
Source Institutions
Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

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.

Close, Closer, Closest
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

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.

Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
