You will have to be very clear and concise so that “tourists” willunderstand what DNA is, how it works and what happens if it is altered. You also want to keep them interested so theywill continue your tour. You willtherefore need to use your creative ideas to design a 3 dimensional model and atour guide to lead them through the model and the other aspects of DNA. Specifics:
NOTE: Any presentation of a kit will have a considerabledrop in your model grade. I am lookingfor originality.
RUBRIC – “A Tour Guide of DNA”
Note: For Structure, these parts need to be identified on your model and include in your DNA Tour Guide.
