Biotechnology Kit^©

Are your students curious how Covid or flu tests work? Now they can easily model diagnostics, forensics, and bacterial transformation at the molecular level. Using the color-coded foam nucleotides, students can:

Simulate PCR using flanking primers result to copy sequences of interest
Investigate how restriction endonucleases are used in DNA cloning
Explore the Sanger DNA sequencing method using chain-terminating fluorescent dideoxy nucleotide analogs

Teacher-developed and tested lessons are included in the kit.
