A while back (before winter break) we made some cute little ornaments out of beads that look like DNA. It was a time consuming project. The first thing that we had to do was get the beads. Mrs. Poole set up stations and we went around counting and collecting our beads that we needed. WE also needed to get some wire to put the beads on
Once we got all of our beads and wire we sat down and Mrs. Poole taught us how to do it. She turned on the overhead and She showed us step by step instructions. We had a certian amount of each color beads. We had small yellow and white beads and long red,blue and green beads We used a spiecal techinque to twist the wire and ut beads on until it looked like DNA. Once we got all of the beads of the wire we finished it by tieing it and then adding a loop, so we could hang it on a Christmas tree put it on you backpack , whatever you want. Mrs. Poole even made it into earings. I put mine on my Christmas tree. This project help me to learn what DNA looks like. I really enjoyed it.
