Plan a model key.

Check in their key to get the supplies needed to build the model.

Model and Key must include major components of DNA structure (5 total):

1. All 4 base letters w/ their correct pairs (Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine)

2. The sugar-phosphate backbone

Each model should have 10 base pairs (20 letters), the pairs must be correct.

Each base letter should be represented by a different color gummy bear.

Each model should have a sugar phosphate backbone for each base pair.

The model should be neat and should follow the rubric provided on google classroom.

Each group will only receive the exact amount of candy to complete the required numbers of

base pairs. If any base pairs are missing, points will be taken off according to the rubric.

cleaners, make sure the base letters lineup and match with their bases. Attach the phosphate

and sugar paper to the outside of the pipe cleaners.
