Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

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

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

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 take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners work in groups to match craft sticks that represent chromosomes. Learners must define critical attributes of their chromosomes as they look for matching chromosomes.
