      Dear Mass49dug,
      With a bit of supervision you can try to extract the DNA from a banana.

      You could collect some data from your class!

      Measure everyone’s height, arm length, age, eye colour, hair colour, favourite movie, etc.

      Once you have these measured you could draw plots on some of these variables (the attributes above) and see if perhaps blonde haired people are shorter? Or if people with blue eyes prefer hurling to football? Anything at all you can think of!
