Description

These student-led DNA lab stations are a great way to get your kids moving and interacting with content in a variety of fun and engaging ways! These eight DNA lab stations focus on the structure of DNA, functions of DNA, discovery of DNA, and base-pairing of nucleotides. All stations are neatly presented, have easy to understand directions, and require minimal prep from you. Just print and go!

Your download includes a teacher’s guide with NGSS standards, prep instructions (so easy!), pacing, and answer key. This DNA stations activity is very low prep for the teacher. Print out included materials, provide an electronic device (phones work) for two stations, and colored pencils, scissors, and glue for one station. That’s it!
