For AP Biology Classes

Used Worldwide to Teach Proper Handwashing Technique.

Explore basic biochemistry.

A more in-depth biochemical analysis of foods.

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.

This kit demonstrates the principles of protein and amino acid analysis and enables students to identify unknown compounds.

Portable grain quality kit for quick, on-site testing of food grains and seeds.

Explore chemistry and biology through familiar kitchen ingredients and experiments.

Identify and compare carbohydrates using classic qualitative lab tests.
