Curated OER
Genetics: Genes and DNA
Students study DeoxyriboNucleic Acid or commonly known as DNA and discover importance of DNA strand, chromosomes, and genes.
Curated OER
Unit 5 DNA & Protein Synthesis
Students study and examine DNA and protein synthesis. Students decide what grade they want and complete only those assignment's. There are no objectives listed for this lesson plan.
Curated OER
Bioinformatics
Students are exposed to the tools and databases currently used by researchers in molecular and evolutionary biology. They gain a better understanding of gene analysis, taxonomy, and evolution.
Curated OER
The Genetics of Antibody Diversity
Students distinguish between the light and heavy chain sections. In this biology lesson, students simulate the DNA splicing process. They calculate antibody diversity using the information given.

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
DNA Sequencing Model Lab
Students pretend they are each genetic engineers with a test tube of unknown DNA (PCR'd) possibly taken from blood cells of someone with a genetic condition.
Curated OER
DNA and RNA
Tenth graders research the history and discovery of DNA. Using their text, they label a basic DNA structure and the composition of genes. They explain how RNA and DNA differ from one other and discuss the processes of transcription and...
Curated OER
BLAST Algorithm
Young scholars explore a series of activities on using BLAST. In this biology lesson, students explain the significance of BLAST in DNA query. They give real world applications of BLAST.
