DNA Discovery!

Last week, volunteers from Let's Talk Science at the U of G presented hands-on activities about DNA to the kids in the Family Housing community at the University of Guelph! The kids had the chance to extract DNA from a banana, to solve a mystery using DNA evidence, to draw the resulting baby from a "chromosome mixup" game, and to make their own take-home model of DNA.. which probably didn't last very long when they left the community center ;)

Aya and Linda filtering the banana for the DNA extraction!
