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
Micropipeting Activity Show me: Pipet 135 µL or 235 µL into a tube
DNA Spooling Activity What Does DNA Look Like? (Edvotek #S-10) = one 50 min class period (30 min activity, 20 min discussion $39 / 10 lab groups 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) = four 50 min class periods $79 / 6 lab groups
Recombinant DNA Technologyuse http://www.dnalc.org/resources/animations/ • 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 Edvotek’s Transformation with Green Fluorescent Protein #223 and #969 = four 50 min class periods $110/ 10 lab groups
