DNA Ortament

     Today is Science Solutions Tuesday. In this blog, I will be blogging about how to make the DNA ornament that we made about a month ago. First, you need different colored beads. The beads will represent the bases, and sugars, and everything that is inside the DNA. Then you need wire, the length of a yard. The last thing you need is optional, you may need a plastic bag, to keep all of your pieces in. The second step is to put seven of the different colored beads on a wire, this is a kind of a hard step to do, because then once the seven beads are put on the wire you need to loop it to the other side, and grab the other wire and loop it to the opposite side of the wire. This is kind of hard to explain. After you have done this the next steps are to repeat this step again until you have as many rows as you want. When you are done, the next step is to loop both strings though the middle, and pull them as hard as you can. Once you are done with that, you cut what ever is left of the wire off. The last step is to twist the ornament, so it will look like a double helix. 

This blog explaines how to make this, and the materials you will need to make it. Step number two was pretty tricky to explain, so I hope you understand this concept that I am trying to make. Like I had said before, it was not easy to explain, so try to Google " DNA bead ornament , and that will possibly give you a better described idea. This is it for today, and I hope that you have learned something new and cool.
