Chapter 12 is about DNA and RNA

YOU are amazing! I absolutely believe this. At the core of your cells is your DNA. We are all so different and yet our DNA is nearly identical. I want you to learn the science to what makes you YOU but I really want you to enjoy the learning and be amazed.

You will be reading the first part of your textbook. As you read fill out the worksheet. After you finish color your Double Helix worksheet.

G= red

C=orange

T=blue

A=purple

Phospahate= yellow

sugar= green

Edible DNA- read your sheets carefully and with a partner complete you model of DNA, no eating the model until its time! When you are done click on the DNA page from

The Stanford School of Medicine, picture below.

Complete at least 4 (from the 5 listed) of the activities on the website. Keep track of them on your worksheet and turn it in by the end of class.
