Abstract
This lesson invites students to work together to identify a mystery DNA sample using state of the art biotechnology.
After identifying the organism, they can work with another group of students to hypothesize about how the different organisms are related to one another. Students will learn that the samples are connected through the nitrogen cycle! This gives students an introduction to scientific molecular techniques and environmental nitrogen cycling.
