DNA Forensics Lab
This activity, especially well suited for junior high students, is a fun, interactive lesson on how we use DNA to distinguish between people. Students work together in pairs to help the police find the perpetrators of a bank robbery. Students learn about evidence, eye witness accounts and the role DNA plays in helping to solve crimes.
This activity can be done in class, as an after-school lesson or for a school club or group.
Please allow two hours for this activity.
