Students in Ms. George's Science class had the opportunity to experiment with extracting DNA from strawberries. Students added water, salt and dish soap to smashed strawberries to break up the cells and release the DNA. Filtering out the chunks of strawberries isolated the liquid. They then added rubbing alcohol which caused the DNA to become visible. Students were then able to pull out and handle the exposed DNA. Bill Nye the Science Guy has nothing on New Outlook Academy!!!
