STEM Activity Of The Week: Banana DNA extraction

Posted by SuperNOVA at Dalhousie University on April 15, 2020 in General Announcements

We're highlighting one of the activities we have online​ for children while they're at home, so they can still learn and enjoy STEM in between their other at-home exploration! For this hands-on experiment, we teach you how to extract the DNA from a banana, using materials you have at home. There are kid-friendly instructions so they're able to do it by themselves, as well as a video from Clayton describing the science and why it's important! Don't forget to tag us (@SuperNOVAatDal on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) if your children do this at home...​​
