Genetics<br />
DNA Activity Model<br />
Affordable, easy-to-understand replica of the “molecule<br />
of life.” At last, a realistic DNA model that fits within your<br />
budget! Your students will construct their own double<br />
helix model complete with cytosine, adenine, guanine, and<br />
thymine nucleic acid bases connecting phosphate strands<br />
and a center rod representing hydrogen bonds. Easy-toassemble,<br />
three-dimensional model is made of durable plastic<br />
components for years of classroom use. Colour-coded<br />
parts feature specially-shaped ends to ensure proper base<br />
pair alignment and can be unzipped to demonstrate DNA<br />
replication. Includes comprehensive, illustrated student and<br />
teacher guides. Comes with sturdy, metal base for easy rotation<br />
and classroom display. 19" H x 7½" D. Sh. wt. 1.95 kgs.<br />
SB37360M — $85.10<br />
Challenge your students to determine<br />
the phenotype, genotype,<br />
and frequency of easily observed<br />
human traits and identify the<br />
dominant and recessive genes for<br />
each trait. Activities include determining<br />
unique traits with tastetest<br />
paper, constructing a family<br />
pedigree, and using Punnett<br />
squares to predict ways genes<br />
combine during fertilization.<br />
Enough <strong>materials</strong> for 40 students.<br />
Grades 7—10. Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.<br />
SB47591M — $29.70<br />
STICK TO SCIENCE — Genetic Cards<br />
Solve the puzzle of how genes are inherited and sometimes appear or disappear in<br />
families. Using these 36 magnetic shapes representing males and females with the<br />
three possible genetic combinations (affected, carriers, or not affected), all types of<br />
inheritance (complete dominance, incomplete dominance whether autosomal or sex<br />
linked) can be investigated. The teacher’s guide has actual case studies and lesson<br />
outlines as well as reproducible student work sheets.<br />
3001M — $10.95<br />
Modern Genetics Poster<br />
A thorough, visual overview of the structure and<br />
function of chromosomes, genes, and DNA. Also<br />
provides a step-by-step procedure for DNA fingerprinting.<br />
Large reference poster features detailed<br />
illustrations to facilitate comprehension of important<br />
standards-based concepts. Measures 23" x 35".<br />
Laminated. Grades 6—10. Sh. wt. 0.63 lbs.<br />
SB47614M — $23.75<br />
Human Genetics Disorders Poster<br />
Presents a detailed view of all 23 human chromosome<br />
pairs and the location of the genes which<br />
cause the most common genetic disorders discovered<br />
to date. Shows breast cancer, melanoma,<br />
deafness, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease,<br />
Tay-Sachs disease, cystic fibrosis, colour blindness,<br />
and others. Also presents four karyotypes representing<br />
a healthy male, healthy female, Down Syndrome,<br />
and Turner Syndrome. Laminated. 23" x 35". Sh. wt.<br />
0.23 kgs.<br />
SB35354M Laminated — $25.60<br />
K’NEX ® DNA, Replication & Transcription Set<br />
Wonderfully flexible set allows students to build and learn using models that demonstrate<br />
phosphate groups, deoxyribose/ribose sugars, colour-coded hydrogen<br />
bonds, four codons, and colour-coded nucleotides. Builds seven different DNA and<br />
mRNA molecules. Build any one from 19 combinations at once. Pieces easily unsnap<br />
for replication and transcription activities. Includes: 521 K’NEX ® pieces and a 24-page,<br />
full-colour building instruction booklet packed in a strong, stackable, plastic storage<br />
case with movable dividers and transparent lockable lid. Grades 5—9. Sh. wt. 1.99 kgs.<br />
Curriculum CD is now included with set.<br />

Genes<br />
and Probability Lab<br />
Study the patterns of inheritance<br />
and genetic probability<br />
of easily observed and tested<br />
traits. Students use game-like<br />
exercises to explore gametogenesis<br />
and fertilization; monohybrid<br />
and dihybrid crosses;<br />
laws of dominance, segregation,<br />
and recombination; independent<br />
assortment; and<br />
other fundamental principles of<br />
genetics. Materials<br />
for 40 students. Grades 7-10. Sh.<br />
wt. 2.25 lbs.<br />
