Grade 12 life sciences pupils at Rustenburg Girls’ High School used different types of sweets to make a 3D model of a double helix DNA molecule. This hands-on practical helps pupils to understand the structure and to bring the content to life. “Learning is always more beneficial when you relate to it in some realistic capacity, and I must admit that sweets were the perfect medium. Definitely my favourite practical of my high school career,” said Katia da Silva Valente.
