Here's a nifty weekend science project that you can do with your kids: make a DNA from jelly babies and licorice. Mark Lorch of The Guardian's Notes & Theories tells us how:
You'll need:
Two long, flexible sweets, such as liquorice ribbons.
A few handfuls of soft, highly coloured sweets, such as jelly babies or marshmallows.
Cocktail sticks.
And the best part? Eating 'em at the end!

I love it! This would have made biology a whole lot more fun way back when.

it's certainly a thing, but the true mind-blowing complexity of DNA is thinking of it as a molecule, not just a structure.. but this would be a good thing to do with kids or people who don't understand DNA at all..
