Last week, our 6th graders in Mrs. Hamrick’s science lab rolled up their sleeves and became real scientists! Students learned about DNA extraction using a strawberry and practiced proper laboratory procedures to prepare for future experiments.
From careful measuring to seeing DNA come to life right before their eyes, students explored the microscopic world that makes us who we are — with curiosity, precision, and excitement! 🌟
Way to go, 6th grade scientists — and thank you, Mrs. Hamrick, for leading such an engaging hands-on lab experience! 👩🔬👏
