DNA Gel Electrophoresis

Biology Unit 4: Evolution of Lemurs
- Year 12
- Scientific Endeavour /
- Scientific Research
Students use real field data to investigate the relatedness of eight individual lemurs to discover whether or not a particular species previously thought extinct is actually still alive. They will analyse morphological data and use gel electrophoresis to decide if the extinct species is actually extant.
Biology UNIT 3 : DNA Manipulation and Genetic Technologies
- Year 12
- Medical Technologies
In this area of study students investigate the tools and techniques that can be used to manipulate DNA, explain how biological knowledge is applied to biotechnical applications, and analyse the interrelationship between scientific knowledge and its applications in society.
Science: Genetics and Microarrays
- Year 10
Student learn about genetic and epigenetic cancers and conduct a microarray experiment to determine a treatment for the patients.
Science – Forensics: Major Crime
- Year 9 /
- Year 10
- Medical Technologies
Solving crime is an important element in our society. Police and other law enforcement agencies now have many technologies at hand in order to solve crime using scientific method and techniques.
