Help me give my students the opportunity to extract their own DNA! They will make necklaces with their DNA inside.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cassel's classroom raised $583
This project is fully funded
My Project
My goal for this project is to have an experience that my students will remember for years to come. When I was in high school, I remember extracting my own DNA from my cheek, and I would love to be able to provide this experience for my students as well!
Students will get the opportunity to extract their own DNA and save it in a necklace so that they are excited to learn about how they are so unique.
This will not only be used for students this year, but will fund enough for two or three years of students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
