In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

This "concept demonstration" provides learners with a concrete example (a pair of shoes in a classroom "cell") of what homology means.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
