Whose DNA Was Left Behind? - EDVOTEK® Biotechnology Kits

DNA fingerprinting is used in the identification of individuals based on DNA analysis of hair, skin, and blood. In this experiment, students use dye simulations as DNA samples and the criminal is i... More.

What Does DNA Look Like? - EDVOTEK® Biotechnology Kits

Understanding about the structure and biological functions of DNA are important. DNA spooling and staining experiments will give students something that is concrete to focus on when learning about ... More.

Mysterious Liquid From Area 51

This kit investigates the chemical and physical properties of liquid samples “stolen” from the Area 51 property room. The liquid is alleged to have come from a UFO that crash-landed in ... More.

DNA Isolation Lab

Unlock the mysteries of DNA! A low-cost, high-value educational kit for extracting and spooling a visible mass of DNA. The extracted DNA can actually be lifted 6" out of the test tube. Learning... More.

Analysis of Minerals and Soils

Teaches students to utilize physical as well as chemical techniques to place a suspect at the scene of a crime, or to eliminate the probability of his being present during the time of a criminal ac... More.

Qualitative Analysis of Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates, simple and complex, are abundantly distributed in nature where they may fulfill important metabolic and structural roles. Glucose is central to the metabolism of all living organisms... More.

Qualitative Analysis of Proteins and Amino Acids

Proteins, peptides, and their component amino acids constitute a major class of biological material. Many important functions are served by proteins and peptides: they have structural roles and act... More.

Properties of Lipids

Lipids constitute a heterogeneous collection of compounds grouped together because of their solubility properties. In nature they are essential for membrane structure and function and for energy st... More.

Meiosis Simulation

Vividly simulate meiosis, the division of the cell nucleus to produce sex cells, using colored “pop” beads. Students model each stage of the process by constructing “pop” be... More.

Exploring Cell Processess

Conduct several activities designed to compare plant and animal cells, illustrating cell structure and processes to include mitochondria, cell membranes, DNA and RNA identification, osmosis, plasmo... More.
