Genetics & DNA Lab for Kids

Venture into the lab for an in-depth exploration of genetics, the scientific field dedicated to the study of heredity and variation in living organisms. Delve into the fascinating world of DNA, the molecular blueprint that holds the essential instructions for life. Witness the genetic material firsthand as you isolate DNA from a tomato in a test tube. Investigate the principles of inheritance and learn how traits are passed down from parents to their offspring. Explore the concepts of dominant and recessive genes, and engage in interactive games to understand how these genetic factors influence the expression of characteristics.

Uncover the biology of reproduction, delving into the intricate workings of cells and the process by which chromosomes are combined and replicated. Assemble a model to observe the elegant double-stranded helical structure of DNA, and then dive deeper to crack the genetic code, understanding how the different nucleotide components fit together to form the blueprint of life.

Analyze DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime, honing your skills in forensic science. Experiment with the survival of the fittest by cultivating your own bacterial colony, and read about the fascinating effects of mutation on genes and the revolutionary field of cloning plants and animals.

Discover the comprehensive insights provided in this full-color, 48-page manual, covering a wide range of topics in the captivating world of genetics and DNA. Embark on this enlightening journey, where hands-on exploration and scientific principles converge to expand your understanding of the fundamental building blocks of life.
