Product Details

A murder has occurred, and DNA samples from various suspects have been collected. Challenge your class to solve the mystery using simulated DNA fingerprinting techniques. With this completely reusable kit, students match “pop bead” DNA fingerprints of the suspects with samples collected at the scene of the crime. Students learn:

The basics of DNA fingerprinting
DNA structure and extraction
Gel electrophoresis and autoradiography
The accuracy of DNA fingerprinting

All materials are reusable.

HS-LS1-1. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.
HS-LS3-1. Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
