In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

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.

In this activity, learners construct a 3-D paper model depicting how histone, acetyl and methyl molecules control access to DNA and affect gene DNA expression.

This activity (on pages 7-13) has pairs of learners survey an array of similarities and differences between them.

In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
