Introduction
Our kit is accompanied by an online web app found at [(http:www.)genomikon.ca]. A web based lab manual is an exciting replacement to the traditional paper based variety as it is a more interactive medium. Genomikon.ca has many interesting features designed to compliment the lab part of the kit. We hope that it will not only be informative but also empower the students to go beyond our pre-made experiments and begin creating there own.
The Lab Manual
The lab manual is a set of experiments, selected with several criteria in mind:
- fun
- familiarize the student with the tools in the kit
- teach concepts inline with a high school biology curriculum
We used the province of Alberta's high school curriculum as a model, most high school curriculum's are somewhat similar. To see specific examples check out the experimentspage.
As the students progress through the experiments they can take notes and even upload images of their results. [Image:team-alberta-lab-manual-notes.jpg]
The Encyclopedia
To offer some extra context to the experiments we have included a selection of articles about synthetic biology and various biology concepts relating to the kit and the high school curriculum. They are integrated with the experiments and also available separately for review. [Image:team-alberta-articles.jpg]

Rough intro to genomikon
When we began thinking about our kit we knew we wanted to make something more than a plain old science kit. We wanted something that could revolutionize the biology classroom. Something that would not only teach students about biology but inspire them, transform them from mere students into Synthetic biologists! With Genomikon we have created something truly unique
