Materials, Supplies, Funds Needed for Biotech in Biology Unit
Class set of:
•4 micropipets/tips each (P-1000, P-200, P-20)
•4 gel boxes, 2 power supplies
•DNA Spooling Activity Kit
•DNA Fingerprinting Activity Kit
•Bacteria Transformation Activity Kit
•Other supplies and materials (96-well plates, food coloring, 37°C incubation oven, water bath
= about $300 in kits/ class= about $3000 for school set of micropipets and gel apparatus
What Is Biotechnology?
Micropipeting Activity
Show me:
Pipet 135 µL
or 235 µL
into a tube
What Does DNA Look Like?
(Edvotek #S-10)
= one 50 min class period (30 min activity, 20 min discussion
$39 / 10 lab groups
DNA Spooling Activity
Do Onions Have DNA (or other fruits
or veggies) ?
(Edvotek #S-75)
= one 50 min class period (30 min activity, 20 min discussion
$49 / 5 lab groups… or use my Lab 4b Materials from SW List
DNA Fingerprinting Using RFLPs Activity
Ward’s DNA Detectives Lab Activity #109)
= four 50 min class periods
$115 / 8 lab groups
Edvotek’s
DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Fragmentation Patterns #109)

Use the Restriction Digestion animation to discuss:
• Restriction enzymes
• DNA ligase
• Recombinant DNA (rDNA)
Use the Transformation animation to discuss:
• Insertion of rDNA vector
• Selection and Expression of newly insert genes
• Applications of rDNA technology
Bacterial Transformation (GMO) Activity
Ward’s Improved Bacterial Transformation Using GFP #36 V 6359
= four 50 min class periods
$85/ 8 lab groups
