DNA Profiling & Fingerprinting: Forensic Science Digital Escape Room (Biology Sub Plan)

CRACK THE CODE: THE DNA PROFILING CHALLENGE

Can your students solve the ultimate biological mystery?

Step into the shoes of a forensic scientist with this immersive DNA Fingerprinting Digital Escape Room. From understanding genetic variation to analyzing DNA mutations, this activity turns a complex biology unit into a high-stakes "Mystery Mission" that students won't want to leave.

The Ultimate "No Prep" Biology Solution: Perfect for High School Biology and Forensic Science curriculum, this resource is a "plug-and-play" Science Sub Plan. Students navigate digital locks while mastering technical concepts like heredity, gene mutations, and DNA sequencing—all with zero prior setup or grading required from you.

Core Curriculum Concepts Covered:

• DNA Profiling: The science of identifying individuals through genetic markers.

• Heredity & Genes: How traits are passed down and identified.

• Genetic Variation: Exploring the unique sequences that make us different.

• DNA Mutations: Understanding how changes in the code affect the profile.

• Forensic Analysis: Applying biological evidence to real-world investigations.

The Six "Science Ninja" Challenge Types:

1. True/False Factoids: Debunking common myths about DNA evidence.

2. Reading Comprehension: Analyzing the history and future of forensics.

3. Forensic Terminology Matching: Defining the language of genetics.

4. Keyword Unscramble: Deciphering the building blocks of life.

5. Genetic Riddles: Clue-based identification of DNA structures.

6. Logical Sequencing: Ordering the steps of a DNA quest.

Ideal for:

Biology curriculum, Forensic Science labs, STEM projects, Emergency sub plans, and Homeschooling.
