The resources provided here are designed to provide an insight into the applications of physics that led to the discovery of the structure of DNA. Both the "Making Models of DNA" and the "X-rays and DNA" resources include:

• teacher notes and handy hint
• student notes
• activity sheets

It is assumed that the students are aware of the discovery of the structure of DNA, and it is recommended that a brief review of the story is given as an introduction to these resources.
