Teach students the structure of DNA with this student centered, cut and paste lesson. Students will use dice to randomly generate a 5-base DNA sequence, color a template strand according to their sequence, and then color, cut out and glue on the antiparallel, complimentary strand. Concepts Covered• DNA is a polymer • A nucleotide is the monomer • Structure of a nucleotide • 4 Nitrogenous Bases (A, G, C & T) • 3’ - 5’ direction • Antiparallel • Complimentary Base Pairing Materials Needed: Stu
