What educators are saying
After going over DNA notes, I used this as a hands-on activity to give them a visual for the DNA molecule.
This was a great hands on activity that allowed students to move and build models. This was great for all of my students, because they could color and put things together. Very happy with this activity for my high schoolers to review DNA structure.

How this activity works:
Step 1 - Students color the bases, phosphates, and sugar according to the key.
Step 2 - Cut out the individual shapes.
Step 3 - Assemble the DNA model like a puzzle.
Step 4 - Glue to a paper.
Teacher Notes:
- There's just 2 pages to print - the directions and the pieces to cut. Because of the number of shapes to cut, it's helpful to have pairs of students complete one model.
- Save time! We also include a version that does not require student coloring.
- Please note: This resource is NOT editable.

NGSSHS-LS3-1
Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.
NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
