Genetics Learning Activities
Select from an extensive catalogue of educational tools available for enhancing the teaching of biological subjects, including simulated testing of blood and urine, the illustration of various natural habitats, and the dissection of sterilized stool samples collected from different regions. By engaging with these educational materials, students learn about animals, the environment, interactions between different animals, growth patterns of cellular organisms, and much more. Safe and economical, these convenient kits are designed to provide you with all of the materials necessary for proper biology education.
Human Genetics Taste Paper Set
Students investigate the inheritance of the ability to taste sodium benzoate by constructing a pedigree of the ability of members of their family to taste them. Includes: 1 vial sodium benzoate, 1 vial control papers (100 papers per vial), and a family pedigree chart. *Test Paper Factoid: Taste papers can be used to demonstrate inheritance. The ability to taste PTC is a hereditary trait. 7 out of 10 people will taste it. Sodium Benzoate tastes sweet, salty, bitter or will be tasteless to different people. Thiourea tastes bitter to most but is tasteless to some!
