The Hope of Science: DNA Practical Applications Time Line
Students design a time line to inform and educate people about the history of DNA practical applications.
Curated OER
Cell Structure and DNA
Sixth graders identify, locate and describe the function of the parts of a cell. In groups, they state the five stages of mitosis and put them in the correct order. They are introduced to the structure of DNA and mRNA and how they...
Curated OER
Building a Model DNA
Learners explain the function of DNA in the body. In this biology lesson, students build a DNA model using simple materials. They demonstrate how bases pair up in the helix.
Curated OER
cDNA Sequencing By Restriction Project
Pupils try to confirm the sequence of a given cDNA clone using the WWW tools and traditional restriction analysis. They grow the clone, prep the plasmid, cut the plasmid with restriction enzymes and compare their results to what was...
Curated OER
Last Flight of Bomber 31
Students act as forensic scientists to help solve a long-standing missing persons case. They study nuclear DNA and mtDNA.
Curated OER
Biology Demos
Students participate in biology demos. In this biology lesson, students explain how energy is released in the ATP cycle. They demonstrate DNA replication process.
Curated OER
Journal of Sex Research
High schoolers increase understanding of how families, through their heredity, structure, and relationships may increase or decrease the likelihood of adolescents engaging in sexual and contraceptive behavior.
Curated OER
Genetic Disease Pamphlet
Students design a pamphlet to inform and educate people about an inherited disease or disorder.
Curated OER
Seed Selection for Genetic Variation
Students will research the origin of corn, analyze factors that contribute to shorter and longer growing seasons, and use the scientific method to answer the question: Did seed selection contribute to the successful movement of corn from...
Curated OER
Arsenic and Human Health
Ninth graders concentrate on arsenic poisoning as an example of the connections among health, geography, and geology as they develop a persuasive presentation about the dangers of arsenic in the drinking water, targeting a specific...
Curated OER
DNA and Protein Synthesis in the Cell
High schoolers explore how DNA fits into chromosomes and how chromosomes relate to the human body. Students learn about DNA replication and protein synthesis and model these two processes.
Curated OER
DNA and Protein Synthesis in the Cell
Students explore how DNA fits into chromosomes and how chromosomes relate to the human body. They learn about DNA replication and protein synthesis and model these two processes in Web activities.
