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 with a partner, and copies of the attached worksheet "Amino Acid Codon Table" They discuss ways an organism, obtains and uses proteins. Students view a teacher prepared DNA strand banner, and record the complementary DNA sequence that would form during replication. Students receive one of the needed eight codon or mRNA anti-codon cards (also teacher created), students arrange themselves in the correct mRNA sequence. Students discuss real life examples.

Students correctly match RNA base pairs to their complimentary DNA bases. They draw a picture of a ribosome and illustrate/explain how mRNA interacts with tRNA to form an amino acid sequence. Students complete a worksheet that focuses on the events of transcription and translation and the order of these events. They match mRNA codons with their corresponding amino acids (genetic code). Students explain the importance of start and stop condons in translation. Full Review »

Students participate in a scientific activity to identify the building blocks for proteins (amino acids) that are needed to grow. They identify foods that contain proteins, how they are digested and rearrange the building blocks. They refer to a table for the amino acid building blocks for their correct sequence. Full Review »

Students investigate DNA strands. They study the sequence to determine if it is DNA or RNA and write the mRNA nucleotide sequence. After stringing the beads together to create the mRNA sequence they translate it into an amino acid sequence and compare the amino acids string to the DNA sequence. Full Review »
