DIY DNA extraction for couples is a fun and educational activity that allows you to explore the science of genetics together. To start, gather materials such as strawberries (or bananas), dish soap, salt, water, coffee filters, and rubbing alcohol. Begin by mashing the fruit in a bowl to break down the cell walls. Next, mix a solution of water, dish soap, and salt, then combine it with the mashed fruit to release the DNA. After gently mixing, filter the mixture through a coffee filter to separate the liquid from the solid debris. Finally, slowly pour cold rubbing alcohol into the filtered liquid to precipitate the DNA, which will appear as white strands. This hands-on experiment not only deepens your understanding of biology but also strengthens your bond as you work together to uncover the building blocks of life. Enjoy your scientific adventure!
