Genetic Genius 1-細胞、雙螺旋、Punett Squares、DNA 萃取物（每週）

Welcome! I'm excited that you joined this class. Would you please introduce yourself to me and the other learners? Share any background or questions you have in this topic area. Gather your materials for each lesson we meet. 
Day 1 
Materials needed: 3 different colored paper, glue stick, marker, and scissors
Let's create a cell. Use three different color papers; one for each part of the cell. Cut out the template with scissors, glue it together, and label the parts of the cell. Then place the toothpicks that represent DNA inside the nucleus. 

Day 2 
Materials needed: toothpicks and different colored mini-marshmallows (assorted color gumdrops, or four different colored Playdoh)
We are going to build DNA. Your child can do this along with the teacher if they want. 

Day 3 
Materials: Whiteboard or paper; writing tool
Students will learn to do a Punnett square. They will need their worksheet to read the genetic problem, they will be solving.

Day 4  
Demonstrate how to extract DNA from strawberries with household items.
If you would like to follow along with this lab, you will need the following materials:

PUT THE ALCOHOL IN THE FRIDGE THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Materials: 3 large frozen or fresh strawberries, sandwich size zip lock bag, salt,  Clear Dawn or 7th Generation dishwashing liquid seem to work the best, COLD 70% -90% isopropyl alcohol, coffee filters or cheesecloth, a small funnel or strainer (preferred),  a spoon, 2 clear cups, jars or glasses, and a toothpick. Measuring spoons and cups will be needed to measure ingredients.

I will demonstrate strawberry DNA extraction. You are welcome to follow along if you have all the supplies.
