In this protein synthesis worksheet, learners answer 14 short answer questions about the process of making proteins from DNA.

Students choreograph and perform a dance to simulate transcription/translation of the DNA molecule to make a protein

Starting from a view of cells, a constructive simulation shows every step of building a new protein. It walks through transcription, translation, building amino acids, and folding the protein. Viewers control if it plays as a video or...

Uncover the basics of DNA structure through exploration activities. Collaborative groups build DNA models and recreate the process of replication. Then, using plant cells such as peas or strawberries, they extract a DNA sample.

Students view animations of DNA replication and transcription and complete a worksheet. In this genetics lesson, after watching on-line video clips to gather information about DNA replication and transcription, student teams identify...

In 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 and...

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...

Engage learners with an intriguing presentation on DNA and its role in organisms. Individuals see its structure, what genes are, how the code works, and then explore DNA replication. For advanced classes, the presentation introduces...

In this DNA learning exercise, students describe how the cell stores all of the data needed to produce the required proteins for the body. Then they describe the ribosomes division and how is attaches itself to RNA and makes protein by...

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

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...

In this genetics worksheet, learners compare structures of molecules, compare the function of genetic enzymes, and compare transcription and translation. This worksheet has 2 multiple choice and 20 matching questions.
