2024 WSST Sessions Conference Schedule
Explore the molecular world from a new perspective! Join 3D Molecular Designs at the 2024 WSST Sessions Conference in La Crosse to see how modeling transforms student learning.
Thursday, April 18th
1:00pm - 1:50pm || Riverside Ball B
Session Title: DNA Discovery Using 3DMD Models
Presenter: Stephanie Ruder
Session Description: Discover how 3D Molecular Designs' kits are used to teach DNA’s structure and function in PLTW Principles of Biomedical Science classes. This can easily be converted to any Biology class. Students explore the structure of DNA using the Dynamic DNA models and showing them the DNA Starter Kit©. Then, learn how to tie in the structure of DNA with the Dynamic DNA model to the DNA in the Flow of Genetic Information Kit© and the Chromosome Connections Kit©. The NGSS standard that this will connect to is HS-LS1 – From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes.
Featured kits and models: Dynamic DNA Kit©, Flow of Genetic Information Kit©, DNA Starter Kit©, Chromosome Connections Kit©
3:00pm - 3:50am || Riverside Ball B
