"content": "\u003cp>Chances are your students have taken a picture or two. Between Instagram, Snapchat and whatever the new social media trend is, the world has increasingly turned to images as a form of mass communication. Not only that, if you ask your students how to do something, at least one of them will instantly do a Google search and share a DIY video or “instructable” (a word coined by Eric Wilhelm and Saul Griffith), full of images that help explain complex instructions or ideas in clear understandable terms. From fixing a leaky faucet to creating your own lightsaber, the images are out there, allowing us to communicate what words alone can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why not take a little time to teach students to take better pictures, and at the same time involve them in procedural writing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every year, the AdVENTURE team of teachers involves the students in an interdisciplinary \u003ca href=\"http://mariana68.wixsite.com/charity-fair-project\">Charity Fair project\u003c/a>.

The science component includes not only the creation of the product, but also crafting an instructable with the procedure they followed to create their product.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In math, they work with their charities’ statistics to support their presentations and calculate the cost/profit of the product they created in their science class.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>This is the story of the instructables created for last year’s \u003ca href=\"http://mariana68.wixsite.com/charity-fair-project\">project\u003c/a>. It all started with a challenge: Go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.instructables.com/\">Instructables.com\u003c/a> and choose one instructable that looks interesting to you. We briefly discussed the amount of text versus how the images were used by the author to provide the missing details. (As a class, we noticed how seldom the pictures were photobombed by the author or his/her friends…)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As always happens with a new project, and the possibility of using their phones in class, students took out phones to get started taking pictures. Their collective groan was heard as we stopped them, “Before you take any pictures, you need to decide which key steps will require a picture, and then learn to some composition basics!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the purpose of the images was clear, we moved on to some basic photography lessons aided by \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/course/communicating-with-photography\">KQED Teach’s “Communicating with Photography\u003c/a>” course.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Framing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-412879 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Framing\" width=\"250\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing.png 957w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-160x97.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-800x486.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-768x466.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-240x146.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-375x228.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Framing-520x316.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"> In photography, framing is all about what you decide to include, or not to include, in a picture. The students experimented with framing as a way to give their images context, leading the eye towards a focal point and intriguing the viewer. Teachers’ rule of thumb while students were experimenting with framing was simple: “Does the frame clutter the image? Does it distract from what you are trying to explain?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Simplicity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-412881 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Simplicity\" width=\"249\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity.png 978w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-160x117.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-800x587.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-768x563.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-960x704.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-240x176.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-375x275.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-520x381.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\">Simplicity can be thought of as the reduction of background clutter. In the instructable format, this is key, as the picture itself should be able to tell the complete story of the step. The most obvious way to achieve simplicity is to place the subject against a neutral background. After a few tries, the students also realized that this meant moving around or cropping their pictures to avoid their own shadow or feet appearing in the picture. It also meant arranging the items in a way that was aesthetically pleasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lines\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-412880 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Lines\" width=\"249\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines.png 973w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-160x88.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-800x441.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-768x423.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-960x529.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-672x372.png 672w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-240x132.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-375x207.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-520x286.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\">In photography, leading lines attract the viewer to a specific point in the photograph. Lines, whether natural or construed, can help create mood, or lead the viewer’s eye through the picture as it tells a story. Some of the students attempted to create lines in their instructables with the clever placement of materials. But after toying with this for a while, they realized that it wasn’t as easy as drawing lines on paper, and agreed that in an instructable, it took away from the details they wanted to show. Sometimes, less is more.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rule of thirds\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-412882 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Thirds\" width=\"250\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds.png 733w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-160x159.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-240x239.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-375x373.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-520x518.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\">The rule of thirds helps photographers create balance in a picture. People’s eyes tend to travel through an image at specific points, which can easily be created by dividing the picture into a nine-rectangle grid. To teach the students about the rule of thirds, we discussed \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/lesson/photographic-design-composition-basics\">KQED’s images\u003c/a>, and showed them how to turn on the grid on their devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was, by far, the hardest part of the assignment, as students kept trying to position their instructable images “just so,” only to discover that what they wanted to show was actually out of focus. After much trial and error, they got some good shots, and it was time to put everything in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The instructable\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Students began by deciding which steps merited a picture, and they used an \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gpmJ3uDHqbxXFBzp5qV9tJ7PnfXawBrxESh5gkTTvAs/edit?usp=sharing\">instructable template\u003c/a> to draft the procedure.

The students experimented with framing as a way to give their images context, leading the eye towards a focal point and intriguing the viewer. Teachers’ rule of thumb while students were experimenting with framing was simple: “Does the frame clutter the image? Does it distract from what you are trying to explain?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Simplicity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-412881 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Simplicity\" width=\"249\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity.png 978w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-160x117.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-800x587.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-768x563.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-960x704.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-240x176.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-375x275.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Simplicity-520x381.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\">Simplicity can be thought of as the reduction of background clutter. In the instructable format, this is key, as the picture itself should be able to tell the complete story of the step. The most obvious way to achieve simplicity is to place the subject against a neutral background. After a few tries, the students also realized that this meant moving around or cropping their pictures to avoid their own shadow or feet appearing in the picture. It also meant arranging the items in a way that was aesthetically pleasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lines\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-412880 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Lines\" width=\"249\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines.png 973w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-160x88.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-800x441.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-768x423.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-960x529.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-672x372.png 672w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-240x132.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-375x207.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Lines-520x286.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\">In photography, leading lines attract the viewer to a specific point in the photograph. Lines, whether natural or construed, can help create mood, or lead the viewer’s eye through the picture as it tells a story. Some of the students attempted to create lines in their instructables with the clever placement of materials. But after toying with this for a while, they realized that it wasn’t as easy as drawing lines on paper, and agreed that in an instructable, it took away from the details they wanted to show. Sometimes, less is more.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rule of thirds\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-412882 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds.png\" alt=\"Garcia4_Thirds\" width=\"250\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds.png 733w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-160x159.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-240x239.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-375x373.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-520x518.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/02/Garcia4_Thirds-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\">The rule of thirds helps photographers create balance in a picture. People’s eyes tend to travel through an image at specific points, which can easily be created by dividing the picture into a nine-rectangle grid. To teach the students about the rule of thirds, we discussed \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/lesson/photographic-design-composition-basics\">KQED’s images\u003c/a>, and showed them how to turn on the grid on their devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was, by far, the hardest part of the assignment, as students kept trying to position their instructable images “just so,” only to discover that what they wanted to show was actually out of focus. After much trial and error, they got some good shots, and it was time to put everything in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The instructable\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Students began by deciding which steps merited a picture, and they used an \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gpmJ3uDHqbxXFBzp5qV9tJ7PnfXawBrxESh5gkTTvAs/edit?usp=sharing\">instructable template\u003c/a> to draft the procedure. Then, putting final touches on their instructables was simply a matter of polishing their work. Here are some of my favorites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G3WwZ0o_22DxRhCd1Pr5L--qFud90w5AlqL1fnapuCE/edit?usp=sharing\">Crandles\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CoYjnDIJD-wCiABUW5IFUisDCn05aQC5G0MukI600Us/edit?usp=sharing\">Kale Chips\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PghWU01D3QVzrYZmmV1gCVM2UoMOp8xTdqZqPR7Bc5E/edit?usp=sharing\">Chibi Bookmarks\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this era of DIY and makerspaces, it becomes increasingly necessary to teach students how to communicate effectively using images. We still have much to learn about using filters, perspective and lighting, but the basics provided by the instructables are a good first step.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Films on television, VHS, and online. By freshman year of high school, I learned how to create videos, so I set out to create a short film. So, I created a very amateur script, asked my best friends to act, and just made up shots as [we] kept going with every scene. At the end, I created my first short drama film and entered it into film festivals and posted it on YouTube. I fell in love with the film making craft because of this.

So, I created a very amateur script, asked my best friends to act, and just made up shots as [we] kept going with every scene. At the end, I created my first short drama film and entered it into film festivals and posted it on YouTube. I fell in love with the film making craft because of this. This long process was rewarding and I knew I would do this for the rest of my life. Now, I learn to expand to other types of media such as broadcasting, blogging, and photography. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Favorite aspect of the YAB: \u003c/strong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love working with such an amazing and talented team as well as having the ability to voice my ideas and opinions to KQED.

"headTitle": "A Cure for the Common Lecture: Improvisation and Student-Led Inspiration | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>I teach science at a school that believes in emergent curriculum. If the class wants to go in a certain direction, I have the freedom to follow their interests. If a student asks me a question I don’t know the answer to, that is a good thing. This means I can become “one of the students” — a fellow seeker of knowledge in an atmosphere of excitement, uncertainty and adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens when I need to do “direct instruction” and actually teach specific content? Hint: Google images, YouTube and improv.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although lecturing is a dirty word at my school, we still recognize the need for direct instruction. There are moments when a teacher clearly explaining a complex concept is invaluable. There are certain fundamental principles that students need to understand before they can delve into their own projects, but spending hours before class creating a PowerPoint deck is not my idea of a good time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s a busy, science-loving, PowerPoint-hating teacher to do? Well, I generally spend a couple minutes generating an outline of the four or five concepts I want to teach that day. When class starts and it’s time to introduce protein synthesis, I simply do a \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1276&bih=715&q=transcription&oq=transcription&gs_l=img.3..0l10.603.1730.0.1889.13.9.0.3.3.0.130.716.6j2.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..2.11.728.l5FJRMhBXf4#tbm=isch&q=protein+synthesis+overview&imgrc=WET-hlVGJa7XKM%3A\">Google image search\u003c/a>. I click on the image with the right level of detail, and then have students attempt to explain it to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I usually give the class about 10-15 seconds to silently examine the image (so the kids whose hands shoot up don’t take up all the oxygen in the room). I often cold call, celebrating when a student is willing to admit “I don’t get it,” and has to articulate exactly where they’re getting stuck, or what they do get. After one student walks me through that first image, I’ll pull up a couple more images of the same concept, giving different students a chance to engage with the idea, while reinforcing the idea that these are just models that emphasize slightly different parts of the phenomenon. Although I have a general sense of where I want to go next, students will often have questions that send us off on a related tangent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Student:\u003c/strong> Wait, what’s the difference between DNA and RNA?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Me:\u003c/strong> [types in “\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1276&bih=715&q=transcription&oq=transcription&gs_l=img.3..0l10.603.1730.0.1889.13.9.0.3.3.0.130.716.6j2.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..2.11.728.l5FJRMhBXf4#tbm=isch&q=DNA+vs.+RNA&imgrc=P7994Q1OZrworM%3A\">DNA vs. RNA\u003c/a>” in Google image search] Here’s a beautifully illustrated table comparing the two.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Student:\u003c/strong> Does the mRNA ever fold back on itself?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Me:\u003c/strong> I don’t know, I’ve never thought about that before.

If the class wants to go in a certain direction, I have the freedom to follow their interests. If a student asks me a question I don’t know the answer to, that is a good thing. This means I can become “one of the students” — a fellow seeker of knowledge in an atmosphere of excitement, uncertainty and adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens when I need to do “direct instruction” and actually teach specific content? Hint: Google images, YouTube and improv.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although lecturing is a dirty word at my school, we still recognize the need for direct instruction. There are moments when a teacher clearly explaining a complex concept is invaluable. There are certain fundamental principles that students need to understand before they can delve into their own projects, but spending hours before class creating a PowerPoint deck is not my idea of a good time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s a busy, science-loving, PowerPoint-hating teacher to do? Well, I generally spend a couple minutes generating an outline of the four or five concepts I want to teach that day. When class starts and it’s time to introduce protein synthesis, I simply do a \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1276&bih=715&q=transcription&oq=transcription&gs_l=img.3..0l10.603.1730.0.1889.13.9.0.3.3.0.130.716.6j2.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..2.11.728.l5FJRMhBXf4#tbm=isch&q=protein+synthesis+overview&imgrc=WET-hlVGJa7XKM%3A\">Google image search\u003c/a>. I click on the image with the right level of detail, and then have students attempt to explain it to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I usually give the class about 10-15 seconds to silently examine the image (so the kids whose hands shoot up don’t take up all the oxygen in the room). I often cold call, celebrating when a student is willing to admit “I don’t get it,” and has to articulate exactly where they’re getting stuck, or what they do get. After one student walks me through that first image, I’ll pull up a couple more images of the same concept, giving different students a chance to engage with the idea, while reinforcing the idea that these are just models that emphasize slightly different parts of the phenomenon. Although I have a general sense of where I want to go next, students will often have questions that send us off on a related tangent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Student:\u003c/strong> Wait, what’s the difference between DNA and RNA?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Me:\u003c/strong> [types in “\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1276&bih=715&q=transcription&oq=transcription&gs_l=img.3..0l10.603.1730.0.1889.13.9.0.3.3.0.130.716.6j2.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..2.11.728.l5FJRMhBXf4#tbm=isch&q=DNA+vs.+RNA&imgrc=P7994Q1OZrworM%3A\">DNA vs. RNA\u003c/a>” in Google image search] Here’s a beautifully illustrated table comparing the two.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Student:\u003c/strong> Does the mRNA ever fold back on itself?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Me:\u003c/strong> I don’t know, I’ve never thought about that before.
