Using a printed, magnetic karyotype layout board and illustrations of human chromosomes,
students prepare and analyze normal and
abnormal human karyotypes. Identify each magnetic chromosome and its homologous pair based on size, centromere position, and banding pattern, then arrange them in standard karyotype format on the magnetic layout board.
Activity is for High School ONLY.
Using beads, students will be able to create a bracelet to demonstrate a DNA sequence of a plant, animal, or human.
Students will learn more about the anatomy of the eye, common eye injuries, and eye diseases by using glasses to demonstrate the different eye diseases and making an eye model to demonstrate injuries.
A fun and exciting laboratory activity for isolating human DNA and creating wearable DNA necklaces.
Students extract crude DNA from their own cheek cells.
One look through the D.W.eyes™ goggles and you’re under the influence of an eye-opening experience. The specially designed eyewear recreates the visual distortion, loss of perception, and lack of control that impair drunken drivers.
Students are amazed by the discovery of blood typing. Using synthetic blood students get exposure to health careers such as clinical Laboratory Technologists .
