Students who were absent during a real dissection could do this activity to

DNA on the Floor- General Bio DNA Replication Modeling (Best Seller)
**This got a huge update on 5/31/23.**Several years ago, I found this activity on a teacher’s blog. There were no instructions- just a few pictures of the process- and I created these instructions on my own from there. I’ve since modified the process to work for my classes.I NEVER skip this activity- it helps students have those “lightbulb” moments that make replication click. Understanding the lagging strand can be very challenging, and I find that this activity makes it so much more accessible
