Funded Dec 6, 2014Thank you very much for your donation to our classes. The students loved doing this activity. It was very engaging and it helped them to understand the structure of the DNA molecule. Using pipe-cleaners and beads, they made models of DNA and then were encouraged to teach another family member what the different color beads represented and about the scientists, Watson, Franklin and Crick, that are credited for discovering the shape.
My students still talk about their models and some hung them on their Christmas trees!
Now they can remember the what they learned in 7th grade science.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Hyatt
