Product Details

Immerse your students in the science practices with engaging laboratory activities and POGIL™! Your students will practice important science skills while learning key genetics content related to DNA structure with this kit that includes a demonstration, a POGIL activity and an inquiry lab activity. Students learn to predict outcomes by making models and learn key content through interpreting models and carrying out guided-inquiry lab activities. Complete the learning cycle with claims-evidence-reasoning style analysis prompts.

The demonstration challenges students to explain why some chemical reagents isolate DNA from other molecules. A POGIL activity leads to understanding of the structure of DNA and the process of replication. In the inquiry lab activity, students discover how DNA fingerprinting identifies differences in DNA between people.

Performance Expectations

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.
HS-PS1-3: Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.
