It’s In My Genes

Materials: one microtiter plate with 96 empty wells. Yellow, red, blue and green colored liquids.

The teacher will assign each well in the plate to individual students - the table below can be used to track which students are responsible for which wells. Each student will complete their assigned task by pipetting the correct amount of colored liquid into the designated well. When all the wells are correctly filled, the plate will spell out in color a message.
