From Polliwog to Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

How Do Viruses Recognize a Target Cell?
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

DNA Modeling Activity
Source Institutions
Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Yummy Gummy Double Helix
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

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

Finding a Gene on the Chromosome Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pedigree and jigsaw puzzles to explore how scientists use genetic information from a family to identify a gene associated with a genetic disorder.

DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

Programming Languages: Harold the Robot
Source Institutions
In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

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

DNA Extraction from Wheat Germ
Source Institutions
DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

DNA Extraction from Cheek Cells
Source Institutions
DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.

Macromodel of Microarray
Source Institutions
This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.

DNA Spooling: Isolate DNA from Onion Cells
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners isolate Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from onion cells using a simple extraction procedure.

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

Origami DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

Traits Bingo
Source Institutions
In this game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

Breakfast Proteins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

Life Size: Line 'em up!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

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.
