DNA Model. ESTIMATED LENGTH: 85-115 MIN* . In this small group activity, MIDDLE SCHOOL students will make an edible model of a DNA double helix. ugar-phosphate backbone. As students put together their DNA model, they will learn about the base pairing rules and how DNA encodes each organism.
Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, this practical activity allows students to create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure. The activity provides a hands-on way of learning about the structure of DNA. Two templates are available as PDFs; a standard template with the...
Making your DNA model. Dashed lines are “valleys” and are to be folded towards you with the peak pointed away from you. Cut the white border off the top, bottom, and sides of the template. Fold all solid lines going 3. Fold all dashed lines going lengthwise down the page into "mountain folds".
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.
Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, this practical activity allows students to create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure. The activity provides a hands-on way of learning about the structure of DNA.
In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix, which examines some of the evidence that James Watson and Francis Crick used to determine the double-helical structure of DNA. KEY CONCEPTS.
Origami DNA Blank Template. This hands-on activity allows you to create your own paper model of a DNA double helix. This activity explores the structure of DNA in a paper-based form. You can also use the blank version to explore the pairing rules of DNA, by colouring in each base pair using the pairing rules printout.
