The DNA Building & Practice Kit provides a hands-on, tactile way for biology students to master base-pairing rules, anti-parallel directionality (5' to 3'), and RNA transcription. Designed specifically for small-group lab collaboration, this kit turns abstract genetic code into an interactive physical puzzle.
Key Features
- Proper Backbone Modeling: Different notch connections clearly demonstrate 5' and 3' orientation, helping students visualize strand orientation.
- Transcription-Ready: Includes Uracil (U) nucleotides alongside Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine, allowing seamless transitions from DNA replication to mRNA transcription lessons.
- Self-Correcting Base Pairing: Designed with unique joints, so students match correct Purine-Pyrimidine pairs (A-T, C-G, A-U).
Standards & Curriculum Alignment
- NGSS MS-LS3-1 | Modeling gene structures and mutations.
- NGSS HS-LS1-1 | Explaining DNA structure and protein synthesis foundations.
- AP / IB Biology: Strand polarity (5' -> 3'), hydrogen bonding geometries, and transcription mechanics.

Product details
Product details
All of our 3D printed products are made from PLA and/or PETG. Both are non-toxic plastics made from sustainable sources. PLA (polylactic acid) is a common polymer made from corn and used in clothing and medical devices. PETG is commonly used variation of PET which is found in food packaging and carpets.
All of our products go through a multistep screening process to ensure you receive a product you are happy with. Due to the nature of 3D printing, some parts may have tiny imperfections, or variations in colors, from what is shown in the above images. These are an unavoidable result of 3D printing but do not affect the function of the kit.
Warning: Many kits include small pieces that may pose a choking hazard to small children. Please keep kits away from small children.
