Curated OER
Pliable Proteins
Students make models of protiens using wire and paperclips. They are given step by step instructions with lots of information about proteins throughout the directions. They make the three basic structual elements of proteins;...

Structural Changes in a Protein
Pupils observe and manipulate the structure of a protein. They form an alpha helix, a beta sheet, and add disulfide bonds. They create a multimeric protein and compare their location with other students.
Curated OER
The Structure And Functions of Proteins
Ninth graders investigate the structure of proteins and how it affects their function. They build a protein model with four helix units and describe how this structure aids the protein in doing its jobs.
Curated OER
Modeling Protein Structure
Students examine amino acids and discuss the properties of side chains. In this proteins lesson plan students demonstrate the foldings of peptides.
Curated OER
Biology: Protein Study
Students in pairs, select and view proteins from the Protein Data Bank. After downloading the tutorial and instructions, they identify the protein's structures and primary biological functions. Then, students present their findings to...
Curated OER
RNA
Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson plan, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.
Curated OER
What is the Relationship Between DNA and Cancer?
Pupils examine the structure and functions of DNA. They discover the effects radon has on one's DNA and how it leads to cancer. They discuss why DNA is so important to us.
