On February 6, the 8th grade Science classes were able to isolate their own DNA from their saliva. Dr. Donlon, Director of Genetics Research at Queen’s Hospital and father of Erica Donlon, was the guest for the day and helped with this activity. Students were able to use real hospital lab equipment and lab techniques to produce a visible sample of their DNA. This was quite a highlight to their Genetics unit.
