Why it works:

• Turns complex science into hands-on play - kids decode A-T/C-G pairs into color patterns they can wear.
• Print-and-go convenience - just grab beads and string and you're set for home, class, or clubs.
• Builds real skills - patterning, fine-motor, sequencing, vocabulary, and scientific thinking.
• Adaptable for ages and time - quick station, early-finisher choice, or a focused STEM lesson with extensions.
