This lesson takes two class periods of around 50 minutes. I use this in my gifted and talented class to teach about DNA base pairs in through hands on learning. Students learn about the 4 bases of DNA and will make a 3D model, which can be worn as a bracelet. They will pick a living organism and develop a key (bead colors to represent bases) in order to make their bracelet. Once they make the first part of the bracelet from the DNA code they are given they will then match the bases with the pair

DNA PAPER MODEL to cut and assemble
This model of DNA is more detailed than most paper models designed for students. Here you can see every atom! You can see how and why the bases connect, and you can see the difference between ribose and deoxyribose. Explaining the 5′ and 3′ directions is easy because the carbons are numbered. The downside of this model is that it is flat, not a 3D helix shape, but I have yet to find a 3D model that can also show all the atoms, so I took the downside here in favor of making the chemistry visi
