DNA extraction

The idea of using strawberry for this activity is more preferable than the one I did with my students in the last school year in the sense that rather than using strawberry, banana etc. each student had to come up with their spit sample!!!.

You can imagine how much classroom management strategies that will be required to ensure sanity in this lab.

In addition, all the materials we used today are available in my school because my principal is really interested in getting the science department off her feet this coming school year.

I'm definitely going to use this method when we get to genetics and introduction to DNA structure.
