Building a DNA Model
Building a DNA model in the classroom can be a fun and engaging activity for students to understand the structure and properties of DNA. This is a simplified model to help students visualize DNA, as we know the actual construction of DNA is more complex. Still, this activity provides a good starting point for understanding the basics.

In this lesson students are introduced to the idea that DNA is the code to create proteins and that proteins can be structural or functional. Students are given a problem to create a model of a
Ballooning Spider Phenomenon
Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes
In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students construct candy DNA models to explore its structure, base pairing rules, and replication, enriching their understanding of genetics.
