Edible DNA Models

One of the goals I have had in science is to incorporate more food - and let students eat it!
Food can create an emotional response and help students to remember information.
After an evening on Pinterest I came across this great DNA model activity from the University of Utah. I modified it for my students and added an explain & share component.

Students were engaged in this activity and enjoyed sharing their models through Facebook and Instagram. Some students' friends and family even commented on the pictures they posted.
