Through this project students used their creative thinking skills to build a 3D model of DNA.  After they created their model, students from 2 different teacher’s classes combined in the library to analyze the effectiveness of the different models.  When the students went to the library the librarian taught the students a lesson on how models are used in different applications.  The students participated in a discussion about how they have seen models in their lives outside of school and the importance of 3D models.  After the discussion, students chose 5 different models to analyze.  They did this in a modified gallery walk environment and had the option of working with their peers.  As students went around and analyzed the different models, they were looking for strengths and weaknesses in each of the models. The lessons concluded with the students participating in a class discussion about how the different types of models (technology, paper, and other supplies) could be used in other capacities.  Students attained knowledge of 3D Models using their creative thinking, critical thinking, and collaboration skills during a DNA model project.
