You will need:
- 4 different types of sweets
- 2 long strands of candy such as liquorice
- Toothpicks
Method:
Thread 2 different types of sweets onto the toothpicks and then repeat the process with the other 2 types of sweets. Then thread the toothpicks onto the candy strands.
This will then start to form a simple structure of DNA.
During our workshops we facilitate this exercise in a lot more detail, looking at the scientific representations of the sweets and the way in which they link together.
