FLINN SCIENTIFIC I MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCEGENETICS, CONTINUEDGenetic Code at Work PosterIncrease your students’ understanding of the key concepts in the genetic processes of transcription and translation. A unique teaching poster visually captures the basics of DNA structure and its dynamic role in the life of a cell. Poster is full color and measures 24" x 36".FB1663 I $13.85Magnetic Karyotypes—Demonstration KitIdentify and classify chromosome smears according to the Denver System with large magnetic chromosome models. Build a karyotype of a normal male and female on the board then inves-tigate karyotypes of eight chromosomal abnormalities. Conditions include syndromes (Down, Edward’s, Patau, Klinefelter’s and Turner), Disomy Y, Triple X and Robertson Translocation. Includes an easy-to-cut 12" x 36" magnet with all chromosomes necessary.FB1976 I $38.35A Murder Mystery—DNA Fingerprinting—Super Value Laboratory KitA murder has occurred, suspect DNA samples have been collected, and the class must solve the mystery. Students match the “pop bead” simulated DNA fingerprints of the suspects with samples collected at the crime scene and learn the basics of DNA fingerprinting, DNA structure and extraction, gel electrophoresis, autoradiography and the accuracy of DNA fingerprinting. FB1566 I $123.70Genetics—Laboratory and Classroom ActivitiesThis laboratory manual offers easy-to-follow genetics labs. The introduction explains use of the manual and has a syllabus for a complete genetics course. Labs are noted as basic or advanced. Topics include mono-hybrid and dihybrid crosses, DNA extraction and profiling, genetic engineering, restric-tion enzymes, genetic diseases and more. Labs have a stated purpose, background information, safety and disposal, directions, teaching tips and sample data.FB1553 I $42.80Pipetting Practice—Super Value Laboratory KitLoading samples into agarose gel wells can be a difficult skill to pick up. In this kit, wells are constructed of a unique gel polymer material not easily destroyed by micropipet tips and reusable many times. The oversized well holes ensure student success in their first pipet transferring experience. Includes 10 practice gel stations and practice loading dye. FB1649 I $34.60
