DNA

In science class recently we have been look at DNA. That means its purpose, its shape and what it is. And since this is PLP we did this in an interesting way. First we made a DNA cell out of average products. Using beads, pipe cleaners, macaroni and more. We did this in groups and I think ours did represent a DNA well by the way it looked.

Next we did a lab on strawberries DNA. This meant crushing a strawberry with dish soap, salt and water and then pouring it in a beaker with ethanol. This separated the DNA from the strawberry. Then we put it under a microscope and it was actually really interesting to see. And all during this experiment we filled a sheet about what was happening. And we didn’t do this individually I was with Angela and Tyler. This really just showed the complexity of DNA and how organisms are so complex!
