Forensic Science: Introduction to DNA Fingerprinting

Item: W-LAB 1271

Students will get a real feel for what it takes to be a great detective. This basic introduction to forensic science covers many bases. The first activity begins with a crime scene and the identification of suspects based on an eyewitness report and "video stills" of the crime in progress. "Physical evidence" found at the scene of the crime is analyzed scientifically. This kit introduces cells, cell structure, and magnification. Students will use this information to construct a model of a "chromosome" with color-coded "genes" representing some physical traits of the suspects. The process of DNA mapping and DNA fingerprinting is carefully explained and students will be able to read simulated DNA X-ray films to positively identify the perpetrators of the crime. Kit contains five activities and materials for 15 lab groups of 2 students each. Materials are reusable. Contents: 15 student trays with a "gene stand" and a color-coded key 8 packages of color-coded genes (15 per color) 15 sets of 3 different crime scene "bank photo" illustrations 30 sets of pressure sensitive stickers of cell structures and chromosomes 15 sets of 3 different X-ray films of DNA fingerprints 30 student worksheets: activity 1 30 student worksheets: activity 2 30 student worksheets: activity 3 30 student worksheets: activity 4 30 student worksheets: activity 5 1 illustrated instruction manual with answers and hints
