🧬🧑🔬 DNA in Coach Davis’s Biology! 🧑🔬🧬
Students in Coach Davis’s Biology class teamed up to become a living DNA molecule, pairing up as nitrogen bases to follow real base-pairing rules (A with T, C with G). Together they formed a full double helix, showing how genetic information is organized inside every cell.
By building the strand themselves, students could see how structure, bonding, and accuracy all matter — because even one mistake in the sequence can change the final product. Hands-on learning made the code of life a little easier to understand!
