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.
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

Admire your completed DNA double helix! Only another 2,999,999,989 (or so) more to complete your whole genome!
In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure. Two templates are available as PDFs: a standard template with the base pairs already colored or a blank template where the learners have to color the four bases A, C, T and G and mark them in the correct location on the template.
Starting at the top, start to fold, twist, and compress the DNA until it folds onto itself. Enjoy your own DNA! Step 4 - Fold long edge Fold the left edge without the logo with a crisp sharp fold at 90 degrees. Fold Fold old old Diagonal lines should be in this direction Flip the paper and fold remaining edge.
