PREVIOUS ENTRY The Microcosmos Curriculum Guide to Exploring Microbial Space	SCIENCE ACTIVITY BOOKS	NEXT ENTRY Order and Diversity in the Living World: Teaching Taxonomy and Systematics in Schools

Recommended grade level: 8+.
This simple kit for 2 activities is designed to help students learn about the structure of DNA and how it replicates. The kit contains 12 packets of colored plastic pieces--students use them to construct a model of a DNA molecule--and 2 student worksheets with background information and instructions. In the first activity, students construct a DNA "ladder." In the second, they unzip their double helix model and complete 2 new DNA helix ladders. A 4-page teacher's guide provides background information and answers to questions on the student worksheets.

Price: $44.50.
Publisher/supplier: Sargent-Welch.
Materials: Available in kit.
