Students work on this paper lab in cooperative groups of four and manipulate nucleotides to discover the structure of DNA. When they have finished the lab, students have created model of DNA that can be hung on the ceiling. Students use this model to serve as a continual illustration as they discuss mitosis, amino acid sequences and protein synthesis. Full Review »

Students practice writing and decoding secret messages before discussing DNA and its role as a code for making proteins. They translate DNA into RNA and identify the sequence of amino acids to find a secret message. An interactive website on DNA shows a video of transcription and translation. Full Review »

Students explain the cell theory, how researchers explore the living cells and distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. They draw a plant or an animal cell and their " components". In addition, they summarize the structure and function of each organelle and the pathway of protein synthesis. Full Review »

Students identify and describe the process by which a cell produces proteins and describe different types of mutations and how they affect organisms. Then they define the key terms, messenger RNA, transfer RNA and mutation. Students also identify the order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced. Full Review »
