DNA Extraction (Virtual Exploration Lab, Grade 5)

Students learn DNA is the genetic material in living organisms that determines traits. Using processes such as precipitation and spooling, students extract DNA from E. coli cells to understand the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The Exploration Lab experience focuses on making abstract scientific concepts real as students engage in hands-on activities grounded in research done at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
