The study of life and living organisms!
WHAT IS BIOLOGY?
Includes you and me
What other living organisms are there?

WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF LIVING THINGS?
![Page 10: WEEK 3: BIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816293550346895dd3047e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Composed of cells
SOME CHACTERISTICS
They all use DNA
They can growThey can interact with their surroundings

EXPERIMENT TIME!
Problem: I want to actually see DNA, how can I do such a thing?
![Page 12: WEEK 3: BIOLOGY](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816293550346895dd3047e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HYPOTHESIS
What do you think?

PROCEDURE
1. Put a bottle of isopropyl alcohol in a freezer. We'll come back to it later.
2. Measure 90 mL of water into a beaker or similar container.
3. Pour 10 mL of dish soap into the 90 mL of water.4. Add 1/4 tsp of salt to the liquid in the beaker.5. Mix it all up and now you've got a homemade
extraction solution (Lysis)6. Place one strawberry in a plastic zipper-lock bag.7. Pour your extraction solution into the bag with the
strawberry.8. Remove as much air from the bag as possible and
seal it.

9. Use your hands to mash, smash, and mush the strawberry inside of the bag until there are no large pieces remaining.
10. Pour the resulting strawberry and extraction solution mixture through a coffee filter and into a beaker or similar container.
11. Use a spoon to press the strained bits of strawberry against the sieve, forcing even more of the solution into the beaker.
12. From the container it is currently in, transfer the solution into a smaller beaker or similar container that holds around 50-100 mL of fluid.
13. Add 5 mL of your chil led isopropyl alcohol to the solution and hold the mixture at eye level.
14. Can you see how there is a separation of white "stuff" atop the rest of the solution? That's the DNA of the strawberry.
15. Gently remove the DNA from the solution using tweezers.

CONCLUSION
ALL LIVING THINGS HAVE DNA!

There are many different methods that can be used to extract DNA
