"Scientists, called Cell Explorers, came to visit our school yesterday. They taught us how to get DNA from a banana!" (Billy) "The DNA experiment was fun and interesting and we built a jigsaw or model of DNA!" (Ethan) "They taught us about cells. We have 100 trillion cells in our bodies. A goes with T and C goes with G. Cells are made of sugars and phosphates. The scientist giving the demonstration was a biologist. They study living things. The scientists came from NUIG." (Dumebi) "They used alcohol to get the DNA out of the smashed banana!" (Gerry) "It was really fun and I was really excited to do the experiments." (Darragh) "I loved fishing out the DNA with the rod." (Myles) "I liked making the DNA model and finding the DNA." (Edward) "I liked working together as a team and I thought it was exciting." (James) "I liked the quiz." (Justas) "I liked squishing the banana!" (Kyle) | "We used salty water, liquid soap and alcohol to get the DNA. I liked sticking the A to the T and the C to the G." (Ameer) "The DNA model looked like a spiral staircase!" (Maxim) "I liked taking out the DNA with the rods and it looked like yellow jelly!" (Paul) |
