Throughout the week all Biology students have been leaning how easy it is to extract DNA from a strawberry using common household items. Some students took it a little farther and tried to extract DNA from other fruits, vegetables and fungus. Thanks to a BEEF grant students were also able to magnify their specimen with a digital proscope. The proscope plugs into their chromebooks which allows lab groups to take pictures of their specimens. Although a very simple lab, students are always surprised by the fact that we can extract DNA so easily and the addition of the digital microscope technology was a very fun and interesting step![](https://462c01e6fedab5dfa490-3faff6e2480269dc062cf44c1290382c.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/post_image/data/1534/1548448958000.jpeg)
