DNA Model Project<br />

(Adapted from: www.africangreyparrot.com)<br />

Student Name: ____________________________________ Due Date: __________________<br />

Requirements:<br />

Make a model of DNA. Your model may be out of any materials that you choose as long as they are<br />

not perishable and are sturdy. Please make sure that your model includes at least 8 nucleotides.<br />

Each structure should look different from the others, and should clearly show which 2 other<br />

structures they are connected to. Please attach a key to your model, which labels each structure and<br />

shows what it is. Your model should be in a double helix form, as is DNA.<br />

Please use this checklist to make sure you have completed your project, and check the parts as you<br />

do them.<br />

Rubric: The following need to be included for full credit. (Total possible points is 50)<br />
