Christine- I think that the electrophoresis was great to use for this lab. I think it would be good to do this lab with more advanced students though, maybe the ABO blood typing with younger kids.

Emily- Teacher set-up is involved and lengthy. Electrophoresis materials are needed and are not found in all schools. I would not do this lab in my classroom.

Carrie- If you are prepared and have the equipment to do gel electrophoresis in your lab, then this lab would be good to use. Paternity is an interesting society topic and the students would enjoy their role as a "scientist".

Alicia- I do not see doing this in the classroom. If you want to show your students gel electrophoresis there are online activities that would be a good demo.

Ken- I would probably pass on this lab. There are other electrophoresis labs that address other, additional concepts that I would use instead.
