In this hands-on science class, elementary students will become junior scientists as they extract DNA from strawberries! Using simple household materials, students will learn step-by-step how to break open cells and see the DNA that makes strawberries unique. They’ll explore the fascinating world of genetics while discovering that DNA is the blueprint of all living things. Through this interactive experiment, students will not only witness the physical strands of DNA but also learn about its role in heredity and how it’s found in every living organism. This fun and educational activity combines biology and chemistry in an engaging way that sparks curiosity and encourages a love for science. Perfect for young learners eager to explore the building blocks of life! CLASS POLICIES Refund Policy: We strictly adhere to Outschool's refund/reschedule policy for all of our classes.
