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.
Printed Twizzler DNA Model Instruction Sheet; Overview: Let’s take a look at the basic structure (shape) and components (pieces) of a strand of DNA. DNA is made up of four nucleobases (we’ll just call them bases). They are: Adenine; Thymine; Cytosine; Guanine; We use the first letter of each base to represent it, so we have A, T, C, and G.
YouTube videos help bring the idea of DNA structure to life in ways that traditional textbooks simply can’t match. With the click of a button, you have free video content about DNA’s double helix, interactive simulations of DNA replication, interviews with renowned geneticists, and so much more.
7 lis 2019 · Through building and observing this model, students explore the basic structure of phosphodiester bonds, base pairs, the spatial relationships among the components of nucleotides in DNA, and the antiparallel nature of the double helix.
15 lut 2021 · DNA Model – Cut and Paste Nucleotides. This digital modeling activity allows students to build a DNA model by dragging the individual parts into a completed diagram. Structures, such as deoxyribose, phosphate, and the nitrogen bases are shown.
6 wrz 2023 · How to Make an Easy 3D Edible Candy DNA Model Project. With a handful of different candies and a sprinkle of imagination, your little scientists will create their very own DNA models. It’s an edible, hands-on experience that will have their minds buzzing with excitement and curiosity.
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...
