The group tried to decide on a song to put into the strawberry DNA extraction iMovie.  We had fun picking a song.  Then Patrick and Rebecca tweaked the movie. 

We also verified what supplies and our group PLC description for our showcase.

I recently did the DNA extraction in my class, so I am excited for the kids to have the adults do it. I think it will be fun.  I just hope the adults don't complain like my kids. The kids did not like swishing salt water in their mouths.  We tried the experiment with dyed, room temperature alcohol and with cooled alcohol. It worked about the same, but I think the kids like the died alcohol because it looked neat.  I think I will do the activity with strawberries next year.

We filled out the PLC information sheet and talked about our presentation.  Peter also demonstrated his activity for his the showcase.
