DNA Replication Simulation using Pipe Cleaners
This simple activity can be done with partners or alone. The end product (shown in photo) is like catching DNA in the act of replication when it is half done. It works well when you have only one hour to do an activity and does not need the details you would need with other DNA building activities. I have used this as an introduction to replication in my life science classes.

Ballistics Bullet Striations Comparison Worksheet
This is a simulated Bullet Striation activity -- students will be given 12 bullet striation exemplars to compare with 8 pieces of evidence. The recording sheet asks them to match each piece of evidence with an exemplar. They also determine how many shots each exemplar weapon fired and determine the purpose of the weapon. Evidence can be printed on paper - or you can laminate it for re-use each year. Good luck -- and let me know if there are improvements I could make on the activity.
