In class, we reviewed the structure of DNA, using the video we watched for homework, Mr. Quick's powerpoint, and DNA diagrams as a guide. Then, we took out our creative talents (of which I have none) to create a paper model of DNA. Once we were done cutting everything out, we used tape to act as the bonds: 2 pieces for A and T and 3 pieces for C and G.
Next class, we're going to simulate DNA replication, so we started this by "unzipping" or cutting one of our DNA model's bonds where the replicating will begin.
