DNA Model


This week I made a model of DNA with pipe cleaners and beads. The cats really enjoyed helping me with the pipe cleaners! It took awhile to get it to the exact shape it needed to be, but eventually I got it. I learned what DNA really is. It's nice to have a human translator and human dictionary - Mom! I found out that DNA is really strips of cells in your body, made up of guanine and cytosine. There are hundreds in your body. They must be really small strips if they're all over your body!

  1. Wow, Jordann! You could start making DNA bracelets - and just like DNA, no two would be alike. (your father's would have to have some sort of frog DNA built in) ;)

    That looks really cool!
