What material should I use to make a 3D DNA model?
Megannnx asked:
I’m making a DNA model for my biology class, and I want to be creative with what material I use.
I was thinking about using pipe cleaners and beads, but that would be unoriginal.
I was also thinking about using clay, but that would be too heavy.
It cannot be Styrofoam, or any food based product.

The model has to be about 3-4 feet tall, and please keep in mind that I am only a student in high school.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Jojo, I was thinking about using Styrofoam as well, but my teacher said that we can’t use that material . Thank you though .
tooth picks. cotton balls. swabs.
legos. ice cube trays.
hobby lobby, michael’s, (some place like that) they have large styrofoam balls. Use them as the building blocks. From there, you can spray paint them. and use a glue gun to attach.
Test tube cleaners, beads/wooden balls, all those things come in different colors and can be glued or stuck into the styrofoam easily.
Cheap and light weight.
Good luck
