During 2nd quarter, somewhere near the end, Mrs. Poole had us do a DNA key chain project. It was really fun, and the class had a great time.
First, we had to pick our assorted beads. I don't remember how many, but I do know that we had to pick green, blue, gold, red, white, and yellow colored-beads. The yellow and white beads were circular beads, while the rest were rectangular. We also had to get our strand of wire. Next, we inserted one of each bead in a particular order, because each bead represents a base and an element of the DNA. After that we created the base for the key chain all together. Then we inserted our bead patterns. First of all, Mrs. Poole always said that blue and gold always together, and green and red always go together. After that, you add a white bead and a yellow bead to each side. Then, when the pattern is done, you go and make it into a loop, then insert the loop wire string into the rectangular bead. You do the same to the other side. Then you gently pull the two strings together and as you pull, notice that they attach.
If you just keep repeating these steps over and over, then eventually you will have your DNA keychain. It's also a good way to see how it develops.
