We finished up the Civil War study by having a strawberry party (they were popular during the 1860's). Since they are out of season here now (the prices are high), I limited our strawberry selections to whatever we could make with 4 pints of strawberries! We were able to make strawberry pie, strawberry shortcake, strawberry scones, and we still had some strawberry sorbet that I made last year when we went strawberry picking. I'd like to have this strawberry party again during late spring when we are able to pick fresh berries. While we were waiting for all these delicious strawberry items to bake, we tried to extract the DNA in a few strawberries. This was fairly easy to do! This is the site we used here and it has an explaination on what is happening. Once we had the DNA strand floating the kids looked at it under the microscope!
