DIY DNA

1 kit available

KS 3, KS4

This kit contains everything needed to extract DNA from onions or peas except the following: onions, frozen peas and alcohol (meths). A supply of ice is also required but if this is not readily available an insulated bag and freezer blocks are supplied. The BBSRC booklet, 'Discovering DNA, The Recipe for Life', included in the kit provides an excellent range of introductory and follow up activities with photocopiable worksheets.

Our kits are always evolving and improving in direct response to teacher feedback – from the people who use them and who we aim to support. Feedback forms are included in every kit and we encourage you to complete one for every kit you borrow.
