Today’s Activity is called, “Have your DNA and eat it too.”

First we need to remind ourselves… A matches with T OR Adenine with Thymine And…. C matches with G or Cytosine with Guanine. Let’s do some fast facts practice!!!!

“Have you DNA & Eat it TOO!” You will be using Twizzlers, Paper Clips, Colored Marshmallows, and Toothpicks to create a model of DNA. Please use some sense. Let’s set the expectations.
