Class Experience

DNA is the genetic blueprint of a life-form! It can encode and pass on the information on how to grow and maintain life. Although each human has a unique DNA sequence, the DNA in all of us is about 99.9% identical! In this activity, we will create a DNA model that will help us develop an understanding of what DNA is and how it encodes life. This is a hands-on lesson that will require extra materials! In addition to creating the model, we will also read a book, watch a quick video and play a short game! Get ready for a full 55 minutes of fun! 

The book that will be read in class is titled "Have a Nice DNA" by Fran Balkwill & Mic Rolph.
