This kit meets many of the National Science Education Standards in life science. Students may never look at strawberries the same again! This exciting activity is ideal for introducing students to the fascinating world of DNA. Using a technique similar to the one used by scientists, students work in pairs to extract DNA from strawberry fruit and examine it. They also review plant cell structure, and learn cell wall and cell membrane composition. The lab is designed for 32 students.
DNALCDeveloped in collaboration with the Dolan DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Easy, fun DNA extraction for all grade levels! Meets many of the National Science Education Standards for life science content, grades 58, but can also be used for high school and college students.
