This is a draft of what I think my final experiment simulation will look like:
The DNA sample that is being amplified will be simulated as honey.
DNA primers will be dish soap (blue).
DNA polymerase will be rubbing alcohol or vegetable oil.
Excess nucleotides will be water.
When the student conducts the "experiment," the correct order will end up being the honey, dish soap, water, and then the rubbing alcohol or vegetable oil. The students will then have to list the temperatures and what happens at each temperature, and choose a reasonable number of cylces.
The winner (the group that has the order, the temperatures, the descriptions, and the number of cycles correct) will receive a prize.
