Grade 5 and up. Head into the lab for an in-depth investigation of genetics and DNA. The experiments in this kit help students learn about biological inheritance, genetic engineering, and key scientists in these fields.
Activities Include:
- Isolating DNA from a tomato in a test tube
- Learning how traits pass from parents to children
- Playing inheritance games to determine how traits are expressed
- Assembling a model of DNA
- Analyzing DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime
- Breeding bacteria to experiment with genetic engineering
A full-color, 48-page manual guides the experiments.
