4. Why teach
GMO testing? • Inquiry-based
• Real-world test
• Environmental Science
• Plant Physiology
• Genetics and biotechnology
• Bioinformatics/Data Mining
• Standards-based

6. GMO
Investigator
Kit
Advantages
• Extract and amplify DNA from different food
samples
• Perform genuine diagnostic procedures
• Use PCR and electrophoresis to find GMO
foods
• Sufficient materials for 8 student
workstations
• Complete the activity in three 45 minute
lab sessions
• Laboratory extensions: Real-Time PCR

7. GMO
Workshop
Time Line • Introduction to GM foods
• DNA extraction of food products
• Set up PCR reactions
• Electrophorese PCR products
• Analysis and interpretation of
results

9. What is a
GMO?
"genetically modified organism (GMO)"
an organism in which the genetic material
has been altered in a way that does not
occur naturally by mating and/or natural
recombination
