As it was Jeans for Genes Day https://www.jeansforgenesday.org recently we looked at Genetics and DNA with our Company Section group. Here are a few of the ideas we tried as well as using the resources on the website link above:
We had a quiz Genes and Jeans Quiz
Coloured in DNA dna
Tried this experiment looking at structures in plastic (link to structures in DNA) The Leakproof Bag – The Lab
We designed our own Jeans jeans
We let the Anchors get in on the act by playing with a tray of cornflour and water and talking about how you can change structures
