I started my unit on DNA a few weeks ago and wanted to do something fun and interesting to start out the first few sections of the chapter. These sections focus on the scientists that helped contribute to our understanding of the function and structure of DNA. Last year, some of my students had trouble connecting the scientist to his or her contribution to DNA so I wanted to do something different this year. I got an idea from Elizabeth that involved the students creating a meme that included a few words that connected the scientists to DNA. The results were hilarious, unique, and clever and they girls actually enjoyed the assignment. I have 104 students so I decided to share my favorite ones from all four of my biology classes. You can find my favorites here.

These same ones will be posted on Schoology in hopes that these meme’s will help other students in remembering these scientists’ contribution to DNA.

Enjoy!
