Inspiring Student Questions with a TWIST in DNA Modeling
Karen Avery, Pennsylvania College of Technology & Dan Williams, Shelter Island High School
Inspire curiosity, questions, and discussion with 3DMD’s hands-on DNA modeling kits. Students will discover the dynamics of DNA – twisting, untwisting, separating for replication and transcription, and coming back together. Upon examining the intricacies of DNA anatomy, they can analyze the cross-cutting relationship of structure and function.
Why Did U Change to T in DNA?
Tim Herman, PhD, 3D Molecular Designs
All students learn that RNA has uracil, and DNA has thymine. But why is this so? Discuss the science behind this seldom-addressed question and suggest ways to encourage students to think deeply and ask probing questions.
