What Are the Most Recent Developments in Animal and Human Cloning?
Students research the developments of animal and human cloning. They report their findings to the class. They write journal entries as well.
Curated OER
Amino Acids and Protein
Students study amino acids and discover the different proteins that are in our bodies. In this living environment lesson students build protein bracelets with beads as an example of the different amino acids.
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Central Dogma and Genetic Medicine
Scientists work every day to find solutions to genetic diseases. Scholars learn about the process of gene sequencing, mutations, and the results. They explore genetic diseases and therapies to intervene and help and, through case...
Biology Junction
Protein Synthesis
Watson and Crick built the first model of DNA in the 1950s, and our understanding of DNA since then continues to grow exponentially. Scholars learn about protein synthesis by observing a presentation and completing a worksheet. Both walk...
