3 Sheets of Cardboard Used for Making DNA Model

Step - 01

To construct a DNA model, take a corrugated sheet, draw and cut out squares measuring 23 cm, a circle measuring with diameter 20cm.

Chart Paper Stuck on Cut Outs Using Glue

Step - 02

Using Fevicol A+, cover the cut-outs with the help of white chart paper and let it dry.

Cardboard Sheet Rolled Into Coil to Make DNA Structure

Step - 03

To create DNA structure, take a corrugated sheet roll into a coil measuring the width of 2cm and length 34cm and stick the edges with the help of Fevicol A+ and let it dry. Draw and cut out a strip using white chart for covering the coil.

Cardboard Coil Covered With White Chart Paper

Step - 04

With the help of the cutout cover the coil as shown and seal the edges with the help of Fevicol A+ and let it dry. With the help of scale and pencil make markings onto the coil by dividing it into equal distance measuring 2.5 cm as shown in the image.

Paper Straws Painted in Different Colours

Step - 05

Take some paper straws, paint them into 2 different colours of your choice using Fevicryl Acrylic Colour with the help of fine art brushes and let it dry.

Step - 06

Using Fevicol A+, stick paper straw in a twirl manner onto the marking made as shown in the image.

DNA Structure Replicated With Paper Straws

Step - 07

Your structure would like this once all the straws are stuck.

Step - 08

Using Fevicol A+, assemble the cut-outs as shown in the image I.e., square, circle and a DNA structure, now following a DNA structure stick chart paper strip as shown in the image and let it dry.

Cardboard Coils Made for Structure Holder

Step - 09

To create the structure holder, take corrugated sheet and make 4 coils measuring its width 2cm and its length 34cm seal the edges with the help of Fevicol A+ and let it dry. ow take any coloured chart paper cut out strips to cover the coils.

Step - 10

Using Fevicol A+, cover the coils with the help of cut-outs as shown in the image.

Step - 11

Using Fevicol A+, stick the coils on the edges of the structure as shown. Now take any coloured chart paper and label it as DNA MODEL and stick it as shown and let it dry. Your handmade DNA Model is ready!
