On Tuesday the 20th of October the 4/5/6 area and 1/2W had the fantastic opportunity to meet a real life Scientist.
Lynda, who is a scientist for a company that makes flu vaccines and antivemons, came in and completed an experiment and presented a PowerPoint about the work she does.
The experiment involved extracting (taking out) DNA (the building blocks of all the cells in our body) from strawberries, using, water, salt, methylated spirits, detergent, and filter paper. If successfully extracted, the DNA looks like a thread-like cloud at the top of the mixture.
Lynda was very impressed with the questions the students asked and loved answering them the best she could.
