Fun At-Home DNA Experiment for Kids | Biology for Kids

Welcome to our exciting at-home experiment where we dive into the fascinating world of biology for kids! In this video, we'll show you how to build a model of DNA using candy like gummies and licorice. This hands-on activity is perfect for young scientists interested in learning about DNA and its role in living organisms.
Join us for a fun and educational journey as we explore DNA, the unique blueprint inside every cell of living things. DNA consists of four different nucleotides: adenine (a·duh·neen), thymine (thai·meen), guanine (gwaa·neen), and cytosine (sai·tuh·seen). These nucleotides pair up and create the structure of DNA, which determines the genetic makeup of each organism.
In this experiment, we'll use candy to build a model of DNA. It's a fun and tasty way to understand how DNA is structured and how it works!
The goal of this experiment is to demonstrate the structure of DNA and provide a hands-on learning experience for kids.
