Yummy Gummy Double Helix
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

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

Make Your Own DNA
Source Institutions
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.

Reading DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

Have Your DNA and Eat It Too
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

The Ladder of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

Sequence Bracelets
Source Institutions
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.
