 C. elegans Behavior Kit |
|
| Overview |
This PCR based lab looks at the genetic variation in your own classroom! Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to study genetic variation of a population. |
The C. elegans Behavior Kit explores the idea of the genetic implications on an organism’s behavior. Analyze your data using a Chi Square analysis. |

Forensic DNA Fingerprinting Kit
The Forensic DNA Fingerprinting kit allows your students to use real DNA as evidence, as they play the role of crime scene investigator to figure out for themselves "Who done it?".
Restriction Digestion and Analysis of Lambda DNA Kit
This DNA analysis kit demonstrates the procedures and principles of DNA restriction digestion. Digestion of phage lambda DNA is followed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Comparative Proteomics Kit I: Protein Profiler Module
This module allows students to employ protein electrophoresis, the most widely used technique in life science research, to study protein structure and function.
