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.
