Candy DNA

the lab… during this lab, we were told to get 2 Twizzlers, a hand full of coloured marshmallows, and some tooth pics. We were told to pair up the 4 different colours with A/T and C/G pairs. I liked this project because the colours helped me learn base pairs, my partner and I also enjoyed eating the candy afterwards.

Core Competency Reflection

I can work with others to achieve a goal… During this project, our goal was to complete the lab and understand more about base pairs. By the end of the block, my partner and I both had a better understanding of base pairs and DNA.

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener… Throughout the block, I and my partner were asking a lot of questions about DNA, base pairs, genes, and the “backbone” of the strand. When ms. Rutledge was telling the class more information to help prepare for the quiz we were both active listeners. By the end of the class, we both felt prepared for the quiz.
