Double helix model projects

DNA molecule for my son's biology class

DNA 3D Model.

DNA Helix; My daughter and I created the helix with foam balls, string toothpicks and skewers. Paint 1/2 of the foam balls one Color and use the white for the sugar and the other for the phosphate group. Use colored toothpicks the the different bases. One dowel rode for support and a glue gun. She skews are used to put holes in the balls. Paint them in the skewer it is easier.

Let's double click on the structure of the DNA. This blog post explains and demonstrates how to build a DNA Double Helix out of Lego! BrickTwist.com

At a local Bio Lab, an event is being held to teach young folk about DNA, and to further enhance their learning experience, the people in charge want them to create DNA… in LEGO! Via my mother, I've been commissioned to make a prototype of what could be the model. Now that's what I call the "building blocks" of life! XD I only utilized four different color 4x1s, to express the fact that only four are present: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. My excuse for the grills to attach them is…
