Students will be able to physically and chemically extract DNA from a strawberry, afterwards viewing the sample through the microscope. The purpose is to teach students that structure of DNA is too small to view however in the chromosome format it becomes visible. The other objective is to have students review cell parts by recognizing that the mechanical force of crushing the strawberry breaks the cell walls and using the buffer solution dissolves the phospholipids of the cell membrane & nuclear membrane. Its a very simple lab but should be taught after students acquire microscope skills.
