Students learn to extract DNA
Thanks to microbiologist and Farm School parent Dr. Lilburn for leading a DNA extraction lab this week!
The 9th year Biology students have been studying genetics and heredity. The lab was such a great opportunity that all of the students in grades 7-9 participated. We extracted the DNA from dried peas (a nod to Gregor Mendel).
