Build a Paper Model of DNA. Fill in the names of the bases on the model shown to the right, or use the detailed model that shows all the atoms in each nucleotide (back side of paper). Cut out the model. Fold all long creases first.
Construct the right side of your DNA molecule by putting together in sequence a cytosine, thymine, guanine and adenine nucleotide. Complete the left side of the DNA ladder by adding complementary nucleotides or nucleotides that fit. Your finished model should resemble a ladder.
Build your own DNA model. This model can be fiddly to make, but it’s well worth the effort. You'll learn some great science along the way! You will need. • DNA spines and rungs template (from the attached PDF document) • scissors. • glue. • string (to hang your model up with) • clothes pegs or paper clips. What to do. 1.
INTRODUCTION. In this activity, you will build your own model to understand how DNA works. DNA is a simple molecule made up of four types of chemical building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
Using the blank DNA origami template 1. Lay out the blank DNA origami template on the table. Designed by Alex Bateman (2003) 2. Start by writing the fi rst letter of your DNA sequence (A,T, G or C) in the top right corner. 3. Continue your sequence down the column on the right. 4. Write the corresponding bases in boxes
Teacher Guide. Have Your DNA and Eat it Too. Abstract. Students build an edible model of DNA while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing. Learning Objectives. Students will be able to describe the structure of the DNA molecule. Students will be able to explain the rules of base pairing.
Modeling the Structure of DNA. OVERVIEW. In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix.
