Designed for grades K-5 and to be done at home or with small groups, this richly illustrated interactive multi-activity mini-course uses nontraditional teaching techniques to introduce children to the fascinating and important topic of the DNA double helix and where it is found in their bodies. The mini-course includes an illustrated story-based lesson as well as games, activities, and projects that appeal to all types of learners. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this mini-course, children learn how to build a DNA molecule with paper puzzle pieces (included in the mini-course). They then reinforce and expand this knowledge by creating a three-dimensional DNA model with easy-to-find materials. Children go on to gain a fundamental understanding of how bases pair together within a DNA helix through a movement-based game with other kids or stuffed animals. Finally, children learn to isolate DNA from fruit or vegetables through safe experiments they can conduct in their own kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost materials needed to complete the mini-course can be cut from the book itself (or, if preferred, downloaded and printed using an included link).
