Biotechnology -- An Introductory Lesson to the Study of the Structure and Manipulation of DNA

Junior geneticists construct models of DNA to discover sequencing and pairing of nucleotides. They use the models to simulate protein synthesis and then translate the codes into physical traits. Finally, they use the traits to create a...

What is in that double helix? Explain intricate concepts with a variety of creative activities in a instructional activity that incorporates multiple steps to cover DNA structure, nucleic acids, and proteins. Pupils explore the history...

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

Is DNA still present after picking fruit or cooking vegetables? Biology scholars extract and collect DNA strands in an impactful lab. Working groups prepare their samples and compare their results to negative and positive standard...

Chromosomes come in pairs and in pears. The video covers DNA structure and function including the parts of the nucleotide and the four bases. It provides examples of cloning, gene regulation, and mutation. 

How does DNA work? Young geneticists see how function follows form with a video from Socratica's playlist that explores biology. The narrator pulls apart the double helix and describes each portion, discusses Chargaff's rule, and...

DNA carries the code for all living organisms, yet it is made up of only four building blocks. The video explains the structure of DNA down to the nucleotides. It provides the relationships between thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine.

Discover how the structure of DNA relates to its hereditary function in these videos from the American Masters film Decoding Watson. The first video, "DNA Structure and Function," [2:07] can be used with all middle and high school...

DNA follows specific rules when it comes to structure and pairings. Understand what DNA looks like, how it builds itself, and some of the rules that limit it. Individuals view animations showing details not observable under a microscope...

Let's get a closer look at DNA and other molecular structures. The first lesson in the series of four introduces a variety of imagining techniques that engineers and scientists use to visualize molecular structures. The resource presents...
