This week we began DNA and RNA. Students will know what the difference of the two structures are and what they both do.
We will perform a DNA extraction lab where students take strawberries and bananas and smash them up, add a few chemicals, and then collect the DNA and then weigh it. This is to show students that DNA can be seen with the naked eye and actually be put on a scale to be measured. Students are then asked to compare this to human DNA by asking what DNA is for and how it can be collected and sequenced.
