This totally saved me for Biology homework due tomorrow (lost instruction sheet!)

If you need help with the twisting part: 1. make sure your diagonal creases are made well and are not overlapping the white part as he said in the video. 2.Make the diagonal creases more hard (fingernail) and lift the white tabs up more. 3. Twist first, then push together, try not to disturb the diagonal creases while doing this. 4. Try it again. 5. If this doesn't work, you can either restart, or do this: 6. Hold the paper horizontally. So its longer upwards than sideways, if that makes sense. Then take the first diagonal crease from the top in your fingers. Put the second diagonal crease in the same fingers, and keep moving down. this should make it all fall into place. Once you get to the middle, keep your hand there and to your best to do the same to the bottom portion. It'll be kinda hard, you'll have to maneuver around the white tabs which can be annoying. Stick with it. 7. If it still doesn't work then your creases are fucked. Hope this helped! Thanks a bunch, helped me with my project a shit ton! Like this so people can see! :)

I legit got triggered with the twisting part that I squished it completely together and threw it across the room... guess whose getting an F

the video: twist the model, "BE BRAVE". me: twist it and it become trash.

who else had trouble with the twisting part?

The dislikes are from the people who messed up with the twisting part.

If you need help with the twisting part and you're just barely getting the shape, I find the best way to finish the entire twist is to fold the remaining piece of the paper in the pattern that is given. So basically, fold diagonal then straight, repeating.

if twisting it doesnt work (most cases it wont), just try folding it bit by bit. if you made sure all your creases are really good, it will eventually work.

The end confuses me I have no idea how to get it to twist like that

Everyone is confused about the twisted BUT ION EVEN KNOW HOW THE LETTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN AAAAAAA

Aqui esta el comentario en español que tanto buscabas 😜

seriously...., follow the instructions and it virtually twists itself! Hugely satisfying, first time 'right'.

Thanks for wasting loads of my time by creating this video so my teacher can set it for homework :) BTW you have a lovely voice ;)

For people having trouble with the twisting part, if you start at one end, you can 'step' the model together. So at one end, put the first fold together, then the next and so on so forth. It will come together like a spiral staircase until you have the whole thing together and you can start checking the folds as shown.

3:00 that's physically imposible tho

Thank you! I have been racking my brain all week on how I would make my son's double helix and this is the easiest demonstration I have found!

I couldn't do anything! This dude starts caressing the paper and folds it into a DNA!

this is for your class, right?

I remember Batman’s voice being deeper.

GRADE 9 STUDENT HERE! who else??

if you’re doing online classes liek me , and you can’t do it. just print out the final product in the last part of the video and take a selfie holding it

Saved my middle school biology homework

now i have the perfect gift for my biology teacher ^^ thanks a lot

THANK YOU MR. BATEMAN!!!!!!!!!!! MY HOMEWORK WAS SO !@#$ING HARD!!!!!!!

IT'S VERY EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO FOLD THE FINAL STEP AND REMEMBER ALL ANOTHER STEP

Best video ever!!

this saved my daughter's science project, thankyou!

This is soooo cool, I'm learning genetics 2moro in school and I feel I'm going to get a smol praise for this!

gracias we mi profe no explica nada bien

Thanks so much man it helped get an A+ for my bio project

My class cried doing this it was wayyyy harder than it was taught

I came here to learn about the DNA origami method to fold DNA strands in sciences. Was surprised to find so many views on a niche technique until I realized it was about normal origami :D

My A4 printing paper is not strong enough for the twist

You have 7 hours to buy the materials you need and make the DNA model...LET THE GAMES BEGIN

thanks, now instead of an F I got an D

what kind of paper is used to print the template???

This is intelligent design and the real thing is Intelligent Design.

Thank you for helping me create a DNA model for my science class

Mr Batman saved my grades in Biotechnology. Arigatou Mr Batman

en espanol plis :v

It’s funny how I worked hours on this and ripped it accidentally in just a few seconds. In my class it was worth 50 points.

This model just saved me from an f.

this tutorial didnt help

I hate this video so much I had a mental breakdown because I couldn’t crunch it I am so mad right now

i have this model from a paper and u can't do twisting with a normal paper, like from a printer

Langya pinapagawa to ng teacher namin sa biotech

There is a URL at the end of the video where you can download a PDF file to print out the coloured template.

mine totally failed

just be brave...now mine's a pile of paper, Thanks Dr. Bateman.

I twisted the goddam thing and it became a piece of squished colored piece of paper.

Me: pushes the edges together Also me: *throws in trash*

Helpful even in Europe. Thanks from Poland:-)

What kind of paper did you use?

BE BRAVE we will forever remember that quote...

What if I can't like push it down

Great Video maybe do a double upload

my teacher wanted me to do this but i needed it tomo it really helped thanks

Tanginuhhhhh nandito ko dagil sa science

Fucking brilliant! Also the stupid comments below are awesomely funny too because they show that a few people's current DNA sure does need to be re-folded. LOL.

He's so calm

always funny too see a video like this and see comments from years and years ago and then make one yourself that youll completely forget about and some student in the future will see

what music did you use, tell me please + great demo worked perfect for me and the link was fantastic!

you are so fast slow down lol

Are the first folds going the same way??

finally i can recreate my dad thanks to you !

thanks god...this video help me so much

DIRENCTIONS UNCLEAR I FAILED

Thx sir. Now the DAMN professor will not take points from me and I won't get more stressed :)

this video is awesome i had this project coudent do it in class so i took it home and it was easy

Can you just make the template?

>:( que especifique que tipo de papel usar

Thank you so much i t really helped me❤️

My friend Oliver loves your content

I thought it said Dr. Alex Batman

Thank you so so so so so so much!!! This helped!!!❤️

Thanks a ton,it turned out to look exactly like yours!

ya the twisting did NOT work for me

Can i use A4 paper for this?

I hate origami but its a homework 😒

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IS LIKE MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS TOGETHER : ORIGAMI AND BIOLOGY

Mine looks so ugly

hey bro you saved my life... Got an A :D

what kind of paper did he use?

the link isn't working... anywhere else i can get it?

I couldn't do the first folds I'm confused

Why are the bases on the outside of the helix? Am I mis-reading this format?

lmao anyone from Ms. Laura's class? like if u are

What is the name of the background music?

i can't twistit i did all right but its still won't be a circle

Thank you!!! This was really helpful😌❤️

I wanted a easy way to get a 3D DNA model and so I used this video. I got really nice results but it's a pity the phosphate and sugar groups are not visible...

The last bit was genuinely horrifying

sooooooooooooooo helpful xx 2 dislikes?? probably teachers lol xx

Thanks a lot brother worked alex doctor (doktor alex teşekkür ederiz abi çok işe yaradı)

I’m doing this in class lmao

WSH LYCÉE PRIEUR

So i made another one of this and it failed because i added too much glue in the center

A big thanks from Germany

Thanks Dr Bateman!! ❤

I SURVIVED THE TWISTING PART OMG OMG OMG OMG
