I was able to test out the p-GLO kit in my kitchen with my daughter, who is in the 6th grade. The kit components were easy to handle; the experimental design robust and the results were striking.
Science education
Bacterial plasmid
The kit is designed to demonstrate microbiological concepts such as antibiotic susceptibility and resistance, colony formation, transformation, and gene expression.
My daughter had trouble with geting 2 ml in the squeegees, so a team approach doing the experiment will probably be successful with elementary and middle schoolers. More than enough plates are given and students shoudl be encouraged to culture their fingers, tongues etc. to see what they can grow
As can be seen in the photo, we grew transformed colonies that fluoresced under UV light.
N/A
Easy to use and self contained. Multiple concepts can be learned from these experiements.
The UV light source was intermittant.
An outstanding kit for Science teachers to use.
