Description

Class Experience

In this course, your student will learn about the structure and function of DNA. 

This course is for students interested in learning about DNA but may not know about molecular biology. 

Your student will learn about the composition of nucleotides, the four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C), and its double-helix structure. We will discuss the location of DNA in the cell and fun facts about DNA. 

We will make an origami model of DNA together at the...

This class is taught in English.

- Describe the structure of DNA (double-helix) and how it relates to its function. 
- Identify the four nitrogen bases and how they fit together.
- Create a model of DNA.

Guided notes are sent out the Sunday before class begins.

Students will have the note sheets, pencils, color pencils/crayons/markers, and a piece of printer paper for the origami at the end of class.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Youtube
