My advanced Biotechnology students have begun a new project based unit where they have to recruit 8th graders from Le Conte into STEM by demonstrating a very entertaining DNA extraction. The students began by researching what type of things they can use for DNA extraction. They have performed DNA extraction from their own cells three times before, but now they are branching out! They also have to figure out how to make their demonstration both entertaining and educational. The students were very excited to perform extractions with many different types of fruits and vegetables - all of which they discovered from their own research.
