=DNA= References: Your DNA notes Access [|this site] and can also use google images to find the structure of DNA.

Your goals: 1. You need to create a two dimensional DNA model using the puzzle piece cutouts and construction paper.
 * Your nucleotides need to be made correctly, the DNA needs to be correctly put together, and your bases need to be paired up correctly.
 * Your DNA needs to be 3 base pairs long (adds up to 6 total nucleotides)
 * Each part needs to be labeled and color coded.
 * You will turn this part in to me.

2. You need to create a three dimensional DNA model using the Twizzlers, toothpicks, and Gummi Bears.
 * Your DNA needs to be correctly put together, the DNA should be the correct shape, and your bases need to be paired up correctly.
 * Make a key to go with your model that points out what each part of your model represents.
 * Take picture of 3D model with you Key and load it to your kid-blog under post DNA models.
 * Once picture has been loaded you may eat your model.
