Scientist Extraordinaire, Brother Pui Kwok, came to show us how the magic works.
While poor Jeeae had to leave the room due to the strong smell of strawberries, Iris and the rest of us enjoyed the smells!
First we mushed them up inside a bag, added a secret ingredient, mushed some more, then poured everything into a coffee filter-lined cup and waited for it to soak through.
We had all different types of scientists present for the activity. Here you can see some very serious ones- Betty and Jenny
Meanwhile, Beatrice threatened to eat her experiment,
Rita had a starring contest with hers,
and Minerva hid behind hers
When all was said and done we had DNA!!
(Many of us thought it looked more like snot than DNA, but then again, we hadn't had a lot of experience with DNA up until this point)Then we got a little carrying case for our new treasure
We also got to make candy Double Helixes!!
Watch out UCSF- you have some future geneticists running around the city!
