Science Take-Out kits are ready-to-go
with no prep and no lab equipment required. 
Convenient, engaging, and cost-effective!

Explore Genetics With Science Take-Out

Lab experiments that investigate genes, genetic variation, and heredity can be difficult to do in a classroom setting. Genetics lab activities are often time intensive and require specialized lab equipment and supplies which are expensive and not available for many teachers.


Science Take-Out kits introduce students to genetics using engaging, economical, and effective activities. Through the use of hands-on simulations and modeling, students are able to explore a wide range of genetics concepts.


Why settle for "paper and pencil" activities when you can use hands-on Science Take-Out kits!

 

Testing for Genetic Disorders that Cause Brain Damage


Explore genetic testing for phenylketonuria (PKU).

  • Conduct simulated newborn screening tests.
  • Learn how brain damage from PKU can be prevented.
  • Explore inheritance of the gene that causes PKU using a Punnett square and simulated genetic testing.
 

Beebops: Genetics and Evolution


Create a baby Beebop!

  • Why are Beebop babies in the same family different? Model how sexual reproduction results in offspring with different characteristics.
  • Which Beebop babies are most likely to survive and reproduce? Explore how natural selection affects the frequency of characteristics and genes in the Beebop population.

Genetic Testing for Huntington's Disease


Should Jenny get tested for Huntington's disease?

  • Use models and pedigrees to understand the chances of inheriting the gene for Huntington’s disease.
  • Weigh benefits and risks of genetic testing.
  • Perform a simulated genetic test to determine if Jenny or other family members have inherited the gene for Huntington’s disease.
 

Lung Disease: Genes and Your Environment


Learn how gene-environment interactions can cause disease.

  • Conduct simulated genetic testing to determine if a mother and her son have Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic predisposition for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
  • Model the correlation between COPD and Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency.
  • Explore environmental and occupational factors that increase the risk for COPD.
