6th Grade Extracts Strawberry DNA
Sixth grade recently learned about plant cells and extracted DNA from strawberries. They had meaningful conversations about “why” they did what they did. They smashed strawberries in order to break down the cell walls and isolate the nucleus, which houses the DNA. They collaborated about their new discoveries, logged their work in their science journals and are already asking what they are going to do next!!!
