Banana DNA Extraction
Ms. Gabby will tell about her background as an aerospace engineer, and her current work at Northrop Grumman. She will also show us how to separate the DNA of a banana! Isn’t that crazy? She will use a bunch of different elements, such as alcohol, a Ziploc bag, and a coffee filter to do so, and prove to us that all living beings have DNA in their cells
Watch HERE to discover how to do it!
Northrop Grumman + One Adelante:
Build a Catapult
Ms. Nicole Cuello Wajdowicz will teach us how to build a catapult with materials as simple as pencils, a spoon, and rubber bands.
