DNA MODEL PROJECTName:

Make a fully colored Model of DNA. Your model may be out of any materials that you choose as long as they are not perishable and are sturdy. Please make sure that your model includes at least 16 nucleotides. Each structure should look different from the others, and should clearly show which 2 other structures they are connected to. Please attach a key to your model, which labels each structure and shows what it is. Your model should be in a double helix form, as DNA is.

Please use this checklist to make sure you have completed your project, and check the parts as you do them. Submit this rubric with your project. Due ______
