INVESTIGATING SELECTIVE
BREEDING
Kit #905
In this series of two activities students explore inherited traits .
®
They use Lab-Aids simulated corn ears and Punnett squares
to gather data on, interpret, and predict the probability of
traits being passed from parent to offspring . They then read
about “survival of the fittest,” natural selection, selective
breeding, and the relationships between these concepts .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 12 groups of two students.

TRACKING THE SPREAD OF
INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Kit #906
Contagious diseases can spread very quickly through a population . If
an infected individual mingles with healthy individuals, random contact
can cause many more to become infected . This activity simulates the
transmission of a contagious disease and the steps epidemiologists
take to try to determine its source and limit its spread . Two scenarios
are provided—one for an infection spreading among humans and
another among livestock . If desired, the kit materials can also be used
to simulate different “trackable” spreading event scenarios such as an
invasive species or an outbreak of food poisoning . This activity also
introduces the concept of exponential growth .
Accommodates dozens of classes, each with 24 students. Add only
cups for larger class sizes.

ANIMAL HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY:
CHICKEN LITTLE, CHICKEN BIG
Kit #907S — Developed by SEPUP
Medical and dietary supplement products, such as vitamins,
are often given to humans and other animals to improve
health, growth, or performance . In this activity, students
analyze data from a fictitious study on the effects of a chicken
growth supplement . Students are introduced to toxicology
and the design of clinical trials, find threshold doses, and
then grapple with the trade-offs involved with determining
an optimum dose .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 16 groups of two
students.
