For our third science club meeting the students learned about DNA! DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid, it is found in all living things. The students learned about genes and how genes are pieces of DNA passed from parent to child.
The students did an experiment with an onion, they added chemicals to the onion and through a series of steps they were able to see the DNA of the onion (stringy white substance).
The students also built their own DNA model out of marshmallows, licorice, and toothpicks. The students had a great time learning about DNA and also eating marshmallows! :-)
