In Maple we have been learning about what DNA is. We played a game to create our own cartoon characters choosing eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows and hair; we recorded the code for each and at the end compared them throughout the class. We found that everyone had a different code just like all of our DNA is different.
We then did an experiment to extract DNA from strawberries which was great fun, especially mashing and sieving the strawberries!
