Educational Classroom Kits and Activities
Let us help you to identify activity kits to meet your specific Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) needs! Our hands-on kits have been developed by expert scientists and educators to incorporate cross cutting concepts, science and engineering practices and disciplinary core ideas. The activities, designed to provide students with a complete understanding of science as they progress through grade levels, are easily introduced into Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering lessons.
Ward's® Introduction to Chromatography Lab Activity
Two investigations teach the principles of chromatography.
Ward's® Fruit DNA Extraction Activity Lab Activity
A low-tech solution for teaching advanced biotechnology.
Ward's® Modeling Copper Extraction and Reclamation Lab Activity
Acquaint Students with Environmental Problems Created By Mining
Ward's® Introduction to Biotechnology: DNA Extraction Lab Activity
Examine the physical properties of onion DNA.

Biotech for Life (BFL): The Sweet Solution
Isolate the plasmid DNA from a bacterium that encodes for a novel type of insulin!
Purification and Size Determination of GFP and BFP Kit
Cloned from jellyfish, green fluorescent protein (GFP) has been effectively used as a tag to follow the localization and function of proteins in cells.
Mini-Prep Isolation of Plasmid DNA
Allow students to practice small-scale rapid isolation of plasmid DNA, which is a routine procedure used for screening and analysis of recombinant DNA in cloning and subcloning experiments.
Purification and Size Determination of GFP/BFP Kit (EDVO-Kit 255)
Students use Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) to identify the localization and function of proteins in cells.
Genes In A Tube
In this lab activity, students precipitate their own DNA from solution and examine its appearance.
