PCR Simulation—
Student Activity Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
With this great introductory activity, students will gain an in-depth understanding
of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by performing this exciting hands-on activity.
A simulated DNA molecule will be physically duplicated over and over again to
allow your students to gain a better understanding of the steps involved in PCR.
Includes an informative background, DNA and primer cutout sheets, teacher tips
and extensions.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

A Process to Dye for:
Gel Electrophoresis—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students learn how biological molecules are separated during electrophoresis by
comparing the charge, size and molecular formulas of five dyes. Students observe
the direction and measure the rate of migration of the dyes and then use the results
to identify an unknown mixture of dyes. The use of dyes eliminates the need for
staining the samples, which means the entire process can be completed in one class
period. Materials provided include agarose gel in a melt-and-pour bottle (sufficient to
make 10 gels) TAE buffer, dye samples, microcentrifuge tubes, needle-tip pipets and
rulers plus complete student and teacher instructions.
Complete for eight student groups. Super Value Kit is complete for 40 student
groups. Electrophoresis chambers and power supplies are required and available
separately.

Dyeing for Forensics—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Hidden treasure is found in an old mansion and students are challenged to find the
rightful owner. Along with the treasure are some personal mementos that will help
solve the mystery. Six simulated DNA samples are analyzed using gel electrophoresis
to determine which family described in the scenario is entitled to receive the
mementos and money. This activity is a simulation of the type of analysis made using
DNA fingerprinting with two special cases of relatedness testing—Y chromosome
and mitochondrial DNA testing—newer methods often used on old or degraded
DNA. Since simulated DNA is used, the dyeing step is not necessary. Colorful bands
are visible after the gel has run for 15–20 minutes, and results are read during the
same lab period.
Complete for 20 gels. Requires electrophoresis apparatus and power supply.

Why Do People Look
Different? Student
Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students determine what members of a family—a father, mother, and three children—
look like by running simulated DNA samples in agarose gel. Traits investigated
include hair color, eye color, and the presence or absence of freckles. Simulated DNA
is separated by electrophoresis and colorful bands immediately appear in the gel,
eliminating the need for messy stains. Includes agarose, buffer needle-tip pipets, five
simulated DNA samples, complete instructions and student worksheets.
Complete for six student groups. Super Value Kit is complete for 30 student groups.
Requires electrophoresis apparatus and power supply.
