DNA Crime Lab! Can you solve the case?
Each group is given a long paper strip of DNA, a 3-page story of the missing necklace and directions on how to fingerprint and sequence their DNA. Scissors act as the restriction enzyme, cutting the DNA between every GGCC into varied length segments. As the segments are pasted into the corresponding rows on the sequencing board (imitating gel electrophoresis), the DNA fingerprint of each suspect will emerge. So, who stole the necklace? Be a crime stopper!With a focus on literacy and collabora

Volumes of Solids with Known Cross Sections - An Exploration in Calculus
One of the topics that is difficult for students to grasp is finding the volume of a solid with a known cross section. One reason is that students have difficulty with this topic is that they have difficulty drawing the solid. In this activity the students get to build eight different "solids.”This activity focuses on finding the volume of solids that are built on a two-dimensional surface when cross section cut perpendicular to a known shape. The activity uses the region bounded by the x-axis,
