Here is a cut and paste activity activity designed for older learners. They fill in the blank with information about the composition of DNA, then create a DNA strand with its complimentary nucleotide chain.

Because it is heavily focused on the contributors to DNA theory, this instructional activity may be more of an enrichment than a fundamental support to your genetics curriculum. Though it does query learners about DNA structure,...

Three steps are needed to extract DNA from learners' inner cheek cells. The procedure and reasons for each step are explained. As enzymes work on the cells, a series of questions are answered regarding the structure of the DNA molecule....

Before a cell replicates, its DNA must replicate. Take advantage of a hands-on guided lesson plan to teach budding scientists how this happens. Using a set of nucleotide cards, learners become the DNA and work to create matching strands...

In this DNA worksheet, students read about the DNA replication process, step by step. Then students complete 1 multiple choice and 4 short answer questions.

How do viruses hijack our cells to produce more viral particles? Junior immunologists model how viral RNA integrates into a host cell's DNA using pop beads and use interactive tools to explore a virus' genome. The teacher's guide...

Get up close and personal with DNA! A two-part hands-on activity has learners extract DNA from a small organism and then their own cheek cells. Scholars then explore DNA replication using questions to guide their analyses.

How effective are cells at repairing UV damage? An inquiry-based lesson has learners experiment with organism by exposing them to various levels of UV light and then examining their DNA after a period of time. Pupils test different...

For this DNA worksheet, students review vocabulary words associated with DNA, DNA replication, and gene expression. This worksheet has 13 matching questions.

In this DNA worksheet, students determine why, when, and where DNA replication occurs. This worksheet has 7 short answer questions.

Match my cereal sequence. Pupils view a sequence made by colorful cereal rings and create copies of it. Learners must either remember or write down the sequence to transport the code to another location. Scholars replicate the cereal...

Experimental design can make or break an experiment. Young scholars analyze the pulse-chase analysis procedure by studying the Meselson-Stahl experiment. Using a video presentation, they discover how the pulse-chase analysis led to the...

How do reverse transcriptase inhibitors work? Young virologists examine the function of azidothymidine, a drug doctors use to treat HIV patients, during a hands-on modeling activity. Groups create a strand of DNA from an HIV RNA strand...

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from the structure of DNA to interactions within an ecosystem....

For this DNA worksheet, students access a website to determine the information that was used to understand DNA replication. Students compare the difference between observations and opinions. This worksheet has 7 short answer questions...

Teach young biologists the language of life with this series of worksheets on DNA. By working through these pages, students expand their understanding of genetics as they learn about the process of transcription and the...

In this biology worksheet, students identify and label the diagram shown by stating what each part of the diagram represents on the line. Then they use the DNA strand as the original strand and complete the data table. Students also...

In this molecular biology learning exercise, students complete 50 multiple choice questions on DNA and RNA replication, translation and transcription.

The New York Regents High School Examinations are comprehensive and include various question formats, including multiple choice and graph analysis. This particular version, the 2008 Living Environment exam, surveys a variety of topics....

In this DNA replication worksheet, students review the steps that take place for DNA replication. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank questions.

Advanced biology masters take a close look at DNA and the scientists who contributed to our understanding of this complex and powerful molecule. They answer 21 questions about DNA structure, replication, and repair. This can be used as a...

In this DNA worksheet, learners access a website to identify scientists, dates, events, and facts related to DNA. This worksheet has 15 fill in the blank questions.

In this DNA: structure and replication worksheet, students fill in the blanks about the structure of DNA and replication of DNA. Students sketch several diagrams of DNA at different stages.

In this replication of DNA worksheet, students match the correct definition of DNA replication to the terms given. Students also complete given statements with the correct term in the space provided.
