Grades 7-12.
Simulate Mendel’s work in genetics and determine patterns of inheritance. Using special chips and dice, students simulate both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. Students then determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios fo..

This kit lets students construct a model of an eight-rung ladder segment of the DNA molecule, and then build a molecular model of the basic components of the nucleotides of RNA and DNA. A set of instructions for constructing the models is included w..

Using simple and exclusive components, students easily build their own eight-rung ladder segment of the DNA molecule based on the model proposed by Watson and Crick in 1953. The components are made of color-coded plastic, and are easily assemble..

A unique model that shows the relationship between DNA molecules and the biological implications. The model provides the student with a laboratory experience using an investigative approach. The student guide leads students through a series of graphic i..

This kit demystifies the DNA/RNA connection in protein synthesis. Using individualized student worksheets and plastic, color-coded components, students first build a DNA molecule, replicate it, and use half of the “ladder” to build mRNA ..

DNA has often been called “the building block of life.” Therefore, the extraction of this key biological material, which is the first step in its analysis and manipulation, is of primary importance to the field of biotechnology. Due to its s..

Utilize the latest technology in gene identification - DNA fingerprinting - to identify and trace a genetic disorder within the family of famed Russian czar, Nicholas II. In the process, learn more about the individuality of gene expression. Thi..

Use a safe, commonly found microbe to investigate and predict the effect of temperature on gene regulation and expression. The expression of this particular gene is easily recognized by the production of a pigment which turns the bacteria colonies red f..

Developed by teachers, this kit aids students in understanding the principles of recombinant DNA technology. It consists of teacher demonstration models and student manipulative sets, sufficient for a classroom of 30 students. Using the manipulatives, s..

These colorful, large teacher manipulatives of DNA, mRNA, ribosome, tRNA, and amino acid models attach to your blackboard and can be seen from the back of the classroom. You simulate the process for students at your own pace, allowing them to ask questi..
