 Hello guys, welcome to my blog, today I'm blogging about the DNA extraction that we did in Science class. We use kiwi fruit to find the DNA Extraction.


Equiptment: 

  • A kiwi fruit
  • Knife 
  • Water
  • Plastic sealable bag
  • Plastic cup/beaker
  • Coffee filter
  • Bamboo skewer or spatula
  • Test tube
  • Dishwashing liquid
  • Rubbing alcohol
Method: 
  • Cut the kiwifruit into half and the skin.
  • Put half of the kiwifruit into the plastic sealable bag and mush the kiwifruit. 
  • Put a splash of water into the bag with a squirt of dishwashing liquid.
  • Put the coffee filter on top of the plastic cup/beaker. 
  • Pour the liquefied fluid on the coffee filter and collect the juice in a beaker.
  • Carefully pour half a quarter of rubbing alcohol into the test tube. This will cause two different phases.
  • After you see some precipitation, take the slimy wad of kiwifruit DNA. 
  • There you have it! You have kiwifruit DNA.

Why is Jacinda Ardern still so popular?

Date: August 6, 2021

Title: Why is Jacinda Ardern still so popular?

Text type:  Article

Text purpose: To show people why Jacinda Ardern is still so popular




In what I read about this text that Jacinda Ardern as a young woman who becomes prime minister at the age of 37, she is one of the world's first millennial heads of government. She is the only second world leader to give birth in office ( The first was Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan.)

Jacinda Ardern made a promise that she wanted to solve New Zealand's housing crisis by building homes over a decade. But then In the 2020 election campaign, Jacinda Ardern should have struggled to explain why her grand promise had so utterly failed. Except no one demanded any accountability.
