Real Cats Wear Pink

Does your cat sneak up on you in the middle of the night? Maybe it would help if he glowed in the dark like Mr. Green Genes, the first fluorescent cat in America. In a fun and engaging activity about genetic engineering, high school scientists perform a lab in which they genetically modify bacteria to turn it pink, read about Mr. Green Genes, and analyze an engineering comic strip. You don't need nine lives to master the easy-to-follow procedure here.
