Projects for Young Scientists series.
This introduction to biotechnology and genetic engineering provides instructions for building an electrophoresis and a bioreactor, and for using these instruments to conduct basic genetic experiments. Geared more toward the science fair crowd than the weekend scientist, many experiments require teacher assistance. Supply sources are included at the back, and safety is appropriately stressed throughout. Bib., glos., ind.
