Students are putting together their Keynote

Main ideas in Keynote

1) Explain how to extract DNA from a Strawberry (steps)

2) Explain why each step is completed

 

Turn into a movie and turn in to Google classroom.

Rubric Below

Working on Strawberry Experiment (In Class)

Experiment
A) Take one to two strawberries and put them into ziplock bag. Add a bit of water and
seal the bag. Get as much of the air out as you can.
B) Smash strawberries until you don’t have any chunks
Reason: This breaks up cells walls
C) Put 3-4 drops of soap into bag and squish and mix more
Reason: The nuclear membrane is broken down with the soap releasing the DNA
D) Pore all into a test tube. Leave 2 inches from top (min)
Add cold alcohol 1-inch
Reason: Because DNA is lighter than the Alcohol (buoyancy) it will float to top

The white stuff on the top and floating is the DNA

 

Homework:  Take pictures as you go so you can make a keynote that explains how and why.
