In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners play a matching game with their families to discover common inherited traits and traditions. Learners distinguish between inherited traits and learned traditions.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this biology activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use yarn and sticky labels to build a model of a DNA strand. They discover that DNA is very long, very skinny, and packs well into cells.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.
