INHERITANCE & VARIATION OF TRAITS
Discover the Possibilities! A Genetics Probability Activity— Super Value Kit
Students work through this guided-inquiry activity on the principles of Mendelian genetics from introductory vocabulary exer- cises to manipulative exercises that help then visualize Mendel’s laws of dominance and independent assortment. Students learn about the role of probability in genetics with a simulation of gamete formation in a dihy- brid cross using triangular dice. Super Value Kit is completely reusable!

Botheads Genetic Simulation— Super Value Kit
How do inherited characteristics affect an organism’s physical appearance? Students select random gene cards (genotype) and apply basic genetic principles to design and color a personal “Bothead” (phenotype). Students “cross-breed” their “bot” with another to create, draw and color a “hybrid bot.” Students learn about alleles, dominant and recessive traits and effects of mutations. Super Value Kit is completely reusable!

Eye Color and Polygenic Inheritance—Student Laboratory Kit
Students grasp complex genetics concepts simulating eye color inherited through three generations with an independent assort- ment of genes and polygenic inheritance. Students complete a family pedigree with dominant alleles from parents as colored bingo chips drawn from a paper bag. Students then visualize concrete differences in the number of dominant alleles inherited by mixing, using two different color solu- tions drop-wise in a reaction plate.

Flow of Genetic Information Kit
Students learn about the complete process of DNA and RNA formation from gene to protein using this one-of-a-kind hands-on kit! Includes over 300 color-coded foam pieces that can be mixed and matched for different activities. Some assembly required. Student and instructor guides available online.
FB2147 I $119.70
Why Do People Look Different? Student Laboratory Kit
Teach electrophoresis and DNA fingerprinting as students determine what members of a family look like. Investigated traits include hair and eye color and freckles. Separate simu- lated DNA by electrophoresis and colorful bands immediately appear in the gel, eliminating messy stains. Only one class period is required.
