"Human Biology Lab Activities&amp"

A handy bundle of all the consumables you need to complete a miniPCR bio Learning Lab with a class of 32 students.

For centuries, humans have used selective breeding and conventional hybridization to produce desirable qualities and to increase crop yields. Today, scientists use genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, quickly producing these desirable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms. No thermal cycler is required. Students are also encouraged to explore the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms.

Explore the physical and chemical properties of matter.

Teach fundamental concepts of genetic diversity and real world applications in marine biology.

Learn about Mendelian genetics and determine patterns of inheritance.

This interdisciplinary kinesthetic lab has groups of students building their own models of 5 different viruses: tobacco mosaic, mumps, influenza, potato X, and a bacteriophage.

A great intro for all sciences.

Learn about blood typing with real human blood.

You be the detective!

In this lab activity, students explore the core life science concepts of Structures and Properties (LS1) and Heredity (LS3) while they determine their own blood type.

Take Your Students On A Tour Of The Human Body!

In this lab activity, students identify an unknown bacterial sample using gross examination, cell morphology, and biochemical tests with Becton-Dickenson EnteroPluri Tubes. 

Learn how to prepare, stain, and mount slides in order to identify the phases of plant mitosis and chromosomal development.
