During these next few classes the focus will be on the research of your exchange form. There is, however an interesting practical on the extraction of DNA to complete first. The rubric is below:



It is based on the following instruction sheet.

Below you will find some DNA extraction results ... use this for your conclusion and evaluation. **You may use the provided method as a guideline for your own method, but be warned there are some components missing**. What could you add/remove/ improve? When you write your conclusion base it on the results table provided. When you write the evaluation, base it on the method provided in the document below. This ensures that when we deconstruct the ´experimental design process´ in the next unit we will be able to compare notes.:

Here is a video outlining the process used (although using better equipment than we will have):
