Curated OER
Macro-DNA: Doing DNA Fingerprinting
Students explore gel electrophoresis using paper models. They model DNA sequences and shade the boxes on their Gel Electrophoresis Sheet which represent the individual fragments.

Macro-DNA: Doing DNA Fingerprinting and Gel Electrophoresis
Young scholars create numbered DNA sequences by taping together the order of the sequence. They count the number of bases in their RFLP's and shade the boxes on their Gel Electrophoresis sheets that represent individual fragments. They...

DNA Fingerprinting Simulation
In this DNA fingerprinting simulation instructional activity, students perform an activity that represents using a gel electrophoresis. Students decide who commits a crime in a forensics style lab.
Curated OER
Who Ate The Cheese?!
In this crime scene investigation worksheet, students simulate DNA sequencing and DNA restriction analysis using paper strips of DNA. Students compare the crime scene DNA to the suspects and determine who is guilty.
Curated OER
And the Verdict Is...
Students identify the unique pattern DNA forms in each individual, and how that pattern can be used to identify criminals. They have the opportunity to simulate the process of matching DNA samples to those taken at a crime scene.
Curated OER
Lost Baby
Students simulate the steps involved in creating a DNA fingerprint by the RFLP technique. They analyze RFLP patterns to determine the parentage of a missing baby.
