Suggested Labs
The following labs will help provide the needed context and background for the Genome Center Tour video in both high school and college classrooms.
Washington University Science Outreach provides student and teacher pages online for their Modern Genetics Curriculum. Suggested labs include:
- Chapter 1, Section B: Spooling DNA (isolating DNA)
- Chapter 1, Section C: DNA structure (building a DNA model)
