Students 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 separate and combine into amino acids. To end the lesson, they discuss the process of amino acids turning into proteins.

Students work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create models of cells undergoing these changes. In the third lesson, students create Punnett squares, and participate in an interactive lecture on genes, alleles, traite and geno/pheno types. Full Review »
