7 lis 2019 · Build a physical model of the DNA double helix. Use a model of DNA to explore and describe key structural features of the molecule.
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.
Modeling the Structure of DNA student handout. 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).
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.
In this activity, you will use pieces of candy to make a model for a short section of DNA—enough to get a sense of what DNA is like and how it encodes life. This activity is not recommended for use as a science fair project.
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...
Using this DNA model resource, students follow must the instructions to cut out the template and stick the pieces together to form a model of the double helix structure of DNA. Worksheets are provided to support them to evaluate how well the model represents the structure of DNA.
