Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

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

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

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

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

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.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.
