Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center

DNA is a molecule inside the cells of all living things, including things we eat! In this lab students will follow a simple procedure to extract DNA from strawberries and bananas. Upon completion, they will have a visible DNA sample that can be collected and preserved.
Students will:
•	review the structure of plant cells;
•	follow a simple lab procedure;
•	explain how DNA can be visible without a microscope; and
•	collect DNA and make a keepsake necklace.
