Here is a converted copy of the PowerPoint that we will do in class today. You can follow along with me or work independently. All information you need is here on the blog. This blog was developed by Dr. G and Me for you! :) Enjoy!
Once you have completed taking notes on this slide show, click on the link for Gel Electrophoresis Virtual Lab above. You will compare this process to the actual activity that you completed at the molecular laboratory. How were they similar or different? Do you think this would have been more helpful to do before you went to the lab? If you went to this virtual lab before the field trip to the laboratory then was it helpful? Also, if you did not go to the molecular laboratory, how do you think virtual labs can help to replace difficult procedures and expensive equipment? Did you learn from it? What was it like to virtually complete a lab? Any thoughts you have about the experience you need to explain in your blog post.
When you have completed this, I would like you to try your forensic detective skills in taking part in solving three crime puzzles on the link above called Genetics Web Labs. Click on that link and then go to DNA Fingerprinting. What you have learned thus far will help you in understanding the concepts found in this web lab. You will make an evaluative blog post on this activity as well.
