Our young scientists in the Quantum Club embarked on an exciting hands-on journey to explore the very blueprint of life – DNA! Using a simple banana, they conducted a real-life DNA extraction experiment. With wide eyes and steady hands, learners mashed the banana, added a special solution and watched in awe as strands of DNA became visible-floating like silky threads in a clear solution.
This engaging activity helped them understand that DNA isn’t just something found in textbooks, but a real, tangible molecule present in every living thing. It sparked curiosity and wonder about genetics, biotechnology and the fascinating mysteries hidden within every cell.
