Name: STEM – Science | Candy DNA (Ages 6-11)

“Come learn about the different aspects of STEM with hands-on activities.

Just like a cookbook contains a complete recipe for a dish, DNA stores the recipe for the life of an organism. Although each human has a unique DNA sequence, the DNA in all of us is about 99.9% identical! In this activity, you will use pieces of candy to make a model for a short section of DNA—enough to get a sense of what DNA is like and how it encodes life. We will conduct an experiment to learn more about DNA extraction.”
