DNA

Students will be extracting DNA from strawberries to help them understand DNA and its role in heredity and inheritance. Students will also practice math skills and compare data.

This is a 4-day unit on what forensic scientists do. Students will first conduct research on what a forensic scientist does and participate in extracting DNA. Then students will participate in a

In this lesson, students explore how scientists identify bacteria by analyzing the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Through hands-on activities and bioinformatics tools, students learn the process of

Students will learn about DNA base pairs. As a team they will send a student to read a sequence of DNA/RNA and will have their group duplicate or sequence the complimentary base pair. Students will

In this fifth grade lesson plan, students extract DNA after reading about a young girl who is persistent in showing her parents she can be responsible. Students engage in identifying character traits

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students construct candy DNA models to explore its structure, base pairing rules, and replication, enriching their understanding of genetics.

This engaging lesson is a forensic lesson. Can the students identify if the grandkids belong to the long-lost grandparents or a very terrible war? Students will run gel electrophoresis and compare

In this lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens
