Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

Learners match puzzle pieces to outlines of a DNA strand. The puzzle pieces represent the four chemicals making up DNA base pairs: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.
