Chapters 0:10 What you need & 8 easy steps DNA 8 Steps STEP 1 - Mix 500mL of drink water with 1 tbsp of Salt into a large cup. Mix until salt is dissolved STEP 2 - Swish the salt water in your mouth for 30 seconds. STEP 3 - Spit salt water back into the cup. STEP 4 - Add one drop of dish soap and gently stir. Try not to make bubbles. STEP 5 - In a separate cup, add 100mL of Isopropyl Alcohol and 3 drops of food coloring.

STEP 8 - Shine your flashlight against the glass and take a toothpick and put it into the glass around the middle layer and scoup of your DNA. Science behind it You extracted cells containing DNA from cheeks by swishing the saltwater solution in your mouth. Then, you removed the DNA from cheek cells by using the soap solution to break apart the cell membrane. The soap solution breaks the cell membranes that are made up of fats – just like soap breaks down grease on your dishes. Finally, by adding the rubbing alcohol, the DNA that was extracted from your cells became visible. #extractdna #dna #dnaexplained Made for parents and teachers, this video presents an exciting opportunity for **science for kids**!
