Activity to build a paper model of DNA. Includes a pre-activity reading, directions to make the model, follow-up questions, and the pieces of the model. Guiding question for assignment: What are the parts of DNA's structure?

This is an excellent assignment for when you need last-minute sub plans! Students choose a (near) grade-level reading based on actual scientific papers, answer content questions, and identify the paper's claim, evidence, and reasoning.
