can any one explain how to show the process by which dna replicates in a way that high school students...?

Question

might understand. Sort of like an experiment.

Answer 1

I taught and explained the process to my children using four different colors of Lego blocks in two different heights. I used shorter blocks to represent the C and G, and taller ones for the A and T. If you glue them in the correct matching pairs to two pieces of ribbon, you can match up sides and part them again. I undid the bottom half of the ribbon chain so they could see how free neucleotides were able to come in and attach. You have to be abit careful since the Legos tend to come apart if handled too roughly, but at least they can visualize the differences and how the four types combine. Since the legos were glued to the ribbon, I could also twist it to recreate the double helix.

Answer 2

although we were taught dna structure in 10 th grade but i still remember it after 2 years according to me
the best way to understand a dna model is having a actual model itself or a 3-d visual show which breaks every strand apart and tells the components for me both the ways worked
i understood all the components from the 3-d show and the stucture from the model
and yeah..........my teacher always said REMEMBER THE DNA MODEL IS JUST LIKE A SPIRAL STAIRCASE

Answer 3

There might be a good video to make your job easy, but I read about in Behe's book and I found it very coherent even though I never studied bio
