If we include this structure into the biology room, this can help the classroom feel that the students is in a real biology classroom. This structure takes up 3 feet by 3 feet, so there will be available spaces for walking around the classroom. Materials that are included to build the structure is metal curved rod ($425 for 3 inches height 9 feet), wood slabs (type of wood may vary, cheapest you can get is $48 per wood slab, 60.5" x 12.5"), and flexible plywood ($2-$20 per sheet) To make the structure be stable to the ground, it is like installing the base of a kitchen cabinet. Drill a piece of wood through the floor, and drill through the steel onto the wood to make the structure stable

I think this is a really cool idea, but I think you guys should mention what type of material will be used to make the DNA structure and how you will keep it firmly on the ground to ensure that students don't cause it to fall and hurt someone. In addition to that, you should also make sure that the structure isn't too large and taking up unnecessary space to keep the room open and accessible for learning.

This idea is very interesting but by putting a giant DNA structure right in the middle of the room, you've limited the space for desks to be. It will be interesting to see the layout of all the desks and where the students would sit to make sure that all the students can still see the view of the smartboard and teacher with the model right in the middle of their class.

This is a super cool idea, it will give the classroom a really cool and sciency look. However, you want to make sure that it is not covering anyone's view and there is still space for the furniture. Also, is there any way you will prevent vandalism or destruction?
