Biology Christmas Connection

Well here is the connection between Christmas and biology that I could make. I showed the students this candy cane and told them if they could name the shape that the red stripes make they would all get one. Most of them raised their hands and when I called on one, he said "double helix". We built DNA paper models this week and they learned its shape.
