In my life science class we've been learning about genetics and last week we built DNA molecules using gummy bears and licorice whips. The lesson idea I used came from a teacher in the states (http://www.middleschoolscience.com/) and said to use mini colored marshmallows and Twizzlers licorice, but unfortunately those luxuries aren't available in Germany. So, I spent an hour one night sorting 2 kilos of gummy bears for the students to have four colors, which represented the four bases. Here are some shots of my budding geneticists!
You are very creative! I love it! :)
