TOPIC: GEL ELECTROPHORESIS LAB AIM: How do scientists prepare and use gel electrophoresis? Topic: RELATIONSHIPS AND BIODIVERSITY LAB Aim : How do we gather evidences to determine the species related to Botana curus? MINI LESSON (10-15 MINS) AGENDA DO NOW: Give two uses of gel electrophoresis MINI LESSON: Discuss how gel electrophoresis works Briefly explain the simulated lab on gel electrophoresis Show the internet link where the lab can be found ACTIVITY: Simulated electrophoresis lab REFLECTION HOMEWORK The smaller the fragment, the farther it travels The small DNA fragments will fly through the gel easily and the large pieces will lag behind.
