Head into the lab for an in-depth investigation of genetics and DNA!

See genetic material with your own eyes as you isolate the DNA from a tomato in a test tube. Investigate inheritance and learn how traits are passed down from parents to children.
Learn about the biology of reproduction, the components of cells, and how chromosomes are combined and copied. Assemble a model to see the double-stranded helical structure of DNA. Crack the genetic code and find out how the different parts compose it.
Analyze DNA evidence to identify suspects and solve a crime.

Learn about the influential scientists, including Mendel, Watson, and Crick, who made breakthrough contributions to this field.
Breed your own bacteria colony to experiment with genetic engineering. Read about how mutation affects genes and how scientists clone plants and animals. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments.

Ages 10 and up.
