Make the DNA revolution accessible! Central concepts in molecular biology become child's play in this cutting edge science kit. Discoveries in molecular biology are among the most important scientific advancements of our time.

This sample kit enables a student to explore and develop a fundamental understanding of the key concepts of molecular biology and DNA while building a foundation for analytical thinking. Supplied in a plastic bag.

For ages 8 and up.

Each kit includes:
• 2 sets of DNA double helix pieces
• A full colour 40 page booklet
• A graduated cylinder
• 3 graduated pipettes
• 12 cytology brush
• A thermometer
• A chromosome puzzle
• A chromosome sorting tray
• DNA extraction buffer
• Ink base in Eppendorf tube
• An ink well and quill
• A tube holder
• 2 filter papers

Student Experiments:
• Learn about the composition of cells in all living organisms and where DNA, the information molecule of life, is located
• Extract DNA from the nuclei of a fruit and know why it works
• Probe and spool real DNA with pipettes
• Learn about the four molecules that code for all of life
• Build a DNA ladder and twist into a double helix
• Unzip and pair up to understand how DNA replicates itself
• Think about how the extraordinarily long DNA molecules are packaged into minute nuclei inside each cell
• Solve puzzles by sorting chromosomes by size, staining pattern and by centromere position
• Determine if it is a boy or a girl
• Learn about genes and find out what determines eye colour
• Extract your own DNA and make forgery proof DNA Ink
• Learn how DNA sends its messages within the cell to determine how each cell in the body functions

Features:
This kit has two projects that use consumables. Replacement consumables and spare parts can be purchased from Scientrific.
Extensions to the main projects are feasible.

Includes free ScienceWiz.com portal access:
Explore intriguing videos and links to information that will amuse, astonish, enrich and extend the content in the book and kit.
Internet animations and videos complement the classroom experiments.
Supplemental internet materials allow students to progress at their own pace and to their own level of interest and detail.
