Students discuss DNA Fingerprinting and gel electrophoresis before participating in a crime solving activity. Students simulate their DNA using adding tape and complete the steps necessary to do a gel electrophoresis. They discuss the...

Learners work with tools and techniques used in genetic engineering. They dissect a sample into fragments of DNA using restriction enzymes, sometimes called "molecular scissors". They sort these fragments, measure and analyze them according

Students work together to identify the structure of DNA. They practice using new vocabulary as well. They create a 3-D model of DNA to complete the instructional activity.
