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.

INVESTIGATING HUMAN
HEREDITY
Kit #1270
Students study selected human traits that are controlled by a
single pair of genes and then expand that study to include their
lab partners, classmates and family members . The investigations
begin by having students determine their phenotypes of
several traits . Then, they determine genotypes for these same
traits . In the next investigation, they interpret the genotypes
of individuals in a pedigree . Finally, they construct a pedigree
diagram for a single inherited trait in their family by means of
a controlled experiment for that trait . The students discover
relationships between dominant and recessive traits .
Accommodates one class with 30 students.
