Cat’s Meow Lab8/28/14Question: What happens when soap is placed in the milk?Prediction:

Hypothesis: (If question, Then prediction Because explanation)

Test: Draw a picture

Analyze results: None needed

Catalyst: How do you write a hypothesis? (use your notes to help you).

DNA Extraction 10/15/14Catalyst:List 3 reasons why DNA is important.

Where in the cell is DNA located in eukaryotes? Prokaryotes?

Reflection:

Question: Can we extract DNA out of the cells of living things?
