"Chips" Off the Old Block?

Has your class ever been astounded by the complexity of DNA analysis? Have they ever asked why genetic engineering has become so important to our daily lives? Young scientists perform DNA extraction on strawberries and explore how the...

Uncover the basics of DNA structure through exploration activities. Collaborative groups build DNA models and recreate the process of replication. Then, using plant cells such as peas or strawberries, they extract a DNA sample.

DNA molecules hold the secrets that make us unique. The fourth of 12 lessons explores the structure of DNA by building candy models. After building the models, young scientists break their models to begin the process of DNA replication....

What is in that double helix? Explain intricate concepts with a variety of creative activities in a lesson plan that incorporates multiple steps to cover DNA structure, nucleic acids, and proteins. Pupils explore the history of DNA...

It has been decades since the discovery of DNA. Still, activities such building this DNA model allow blossoming scientists to better understand the components that form this overall structure. During this activity, they will also...

A pinch of adenine, a dash of thymine and ta-da, you have life! Well, it's not quite that simple, but through this series of activities and experiments young scientists learn about the structure of DNA and how it contains the recipe...

In this electrical circuit activity, students answer a series of 13 open-ended questions about digital-to-analog converter circuits. They analyze schematics in order to answer the questions. This activity is printable and the answers are...

In this electrical circuit worksheet, students answer a series of 18 open-ended questions about analog to digital converter circuits. They analyze schematics in order to answer the questions. Students design and build an analog to...

How many times can you say deoxyribonucleic acid fast? Viewers learn the components that create DNA using a video representation. The narrator introduces learners to adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine and how they create the...

Young scholars study DNA decoding and protein synthesis. They use the amino acid table to translate DNA, break DNA strands into three nucleotide codes, and translate nucleotides into amino acid protein codes. They research the importance...
