Unique magnetic visuals will help you show students the chemical structure of DNA. Units adhere to magnetic boards and magnetic dry-erase systems. You begin by cutting out the parts with a pair of scissors. As you will see, the guanine unit will only attach to a cytosine unit. An adenine unit will only attach to a thymine (or uracil) unit. The ribose sugar rings will fit into the open ends of the bases just as in a DNA molecule. The phosphate groups are used to connect adjoining ribose units together. Included are ideas for use with overhead projector and transparencies. Complete with 12 phosphates, 28 bases and 16 sugars.
