  3. Step 2 • Add 2 pinches of table salt. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  4. Step 3 • Add 25 ml of distilled water to make a final volume of 30 ml or about 1/3 the volume of the cup. • Dissolve the salt and shampoo by stirring slowly to avoid foaming. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  5. Step 4 • Using the plastic knife, peel and cut 1/2 of a kiwi into small pieces. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  6. Step 5 • Using the plastic spoon, add the kiwi to the solution from steps 1-3. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  7. Step 6 • Mash the kiwi against the side of the cup with the back of the spoon for 10 minutes. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  8. Step 7 • While one member of your group mashes the kiwi, another member will place a #2 cone coffee filter inside the second 5 oz plastic cup. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  10. Step 8 • Filter the mixture by pouring it into the filter and letting the solution drain for several minutes until there is approximately 5 ml (covers the bottom of the cup) of filtrate to test. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  11. Step 9 • Obtain a test tube of cold alcohol. For best results, the alcohol should be as cold as possible. Fruit CupDNA Extraction

  12. Step 10 • Fill the plastic pipette with kiwi solution to the 1 ml mark. Fruit CupDNA Extraction
