Rubric For DNA and RNA Model

The document provides rubrics to evaluate student models of DNA and RNA. For a DNA model to receive the highest score, it must have two pairs of color-coded bases fitting like puzzle pieces, identify all components of DNA in the legend, have all six components of DNA easily identified, have a double helix shape, and be accompanied by a paragraph explaining the DNA structure in depth. A proficient DNA model meets most but not all of these criteria.
