Genetics & DNA (Version 2.0)

Has your child ever wondered why both of their parents' eyes are brown and theirs are blue? Or maybe they aren’t interested in science at all, and need a way for it to be a bit more engaging? Well then look no further, this genetics and DNA kit would make the perfect educational present for them!

This toy has a lot to offer. First, kids can learn about all things DNA. They can isolate the genetic code from a tomato all by themself. And then, they can learn about inheritance, and how DNA helps pass down certain genes, including how dominant and recessive traits manifest. Your child can learn the biology of reproduction, and how cells are copied and passed down. 

Next, your child can engage in a tactile form of learning to further compound the information. They can assemble a model to see the elegant double-stranded helix structure of DNA. Then crack the genetic code and find out how the different parts, called nucleotides, fit together.

Lastly, once your child has learned all about DNA, they can put it into practice with fun games that could stimulate the desire for future career paths in science. There are 20 different fun activities. They can analyze DNA evidence, like a real life forensic scientist, to solve a crime. They can also create a bacteria colony to experiment with survival of the fittest. Then they can read about interesting things like gene mutation and the exciting new science of cloning. 

This toy is perfect for hands-on home school curriculums, and makes a great gift for any kid who loves science!
