Descriptive Analogies for Teaching Science • Gel Electrophoresis Analogy – • Imagine a huge swimming pool full of water and many entangled nets. A dump truck comes along and dumps its load into one end of the pool. That load contains an extensive collection of long, skinny living water organisms of varying lengths and sizes, from boa constrictors to smaller snakes to worms to microscopic bacteria. There is a vacuum at the other end of the pool, which can be turned on and off. When on, the vacuum pulls all of the creatures across the pool.
