Description
This topic can be tricky for students. From the structure of DNA, to DNA replication and mutations, it is pretty complicated! My DNA Unit will guide your students through these processes, with fun activities and clear diagrams. You'll get engaging Google Slides activities, illustrated Doodle Notes, and self-grading Google Forms Quizzes.
The activities are varied to keep students motivated, and include tasks such as building an mRNA strand, labeling diagrams of DNA replication, dragging and dropping tRNA molecules, and much more!
My DNA unit is super easy for you to use. The Google Slides activities are virtually no prep - simply assign to your students! My Doodle Notes make differentiation easy, with multiple versions, and answer key presentations. And you can quickly and easily check student progress, with the self-grading Google Forms Quizzes!

My DNA Unit includes:
- Student Google Slides Activities: engaging and interactive activities for every lesson - these are provided as both individual lessons (for teachers who wish to assign lessons one-by-one) or as a whole digital INB (for teachers who wish to assign the whole unit in one notebook) - choose the format that works best for you and your students
- Answer Slides: animated answer slides to present to your class, or add them to your Google Classroom for students to self-correct their work
- Google Forms Quizzes: 5 self-grading quizzes to let you easily check student progress. Questions are supported by images where suitable.
- Teacher Guidance: how to assign and use this product - there is also some guidance to help you decide if you want to use the whole digital INB or the individual lessons.

- Illustrated Doodle Notes in the following versions:
- Open response for higher challenge
- Scaffolded with fill-in-the-blanks for support
- Black and white, perfect for coloring in
- Color versions for digital assignments
- A completed example for modeling
- An answer key presentation - Google Slides & PowerPoint options
- A quick start guide
Content covered:
- The Structure of DNA: Location & structure of DNA - components of a nucleotide, complementary base pairs, bonding, double helix, DNA studies and discoveries - Miescher, Levene, Chargaff, Watson & Crick (mention of Franklin but not covered in depth), Application of Chargaff's rule
- DNA Replication: Why DNA replication happens, the process of DNA replication - enzymes and molecules included: helicase, topoisomerase, single-stranded binding proteins, RNA primase, primers, DNA polymerase, exonuclease, ligase. (note that I have structured the slides so that you can delete any stages and labels for enzymes that aren't required for your curriculum), why DNA replication is semi-conservative
- Protein Synthesis: Structure of RNA, comparison of RNA to DNA, what protein synthesis is and why it is important, the process of protein synthesis: transcription and translation, using mRNA codon charts to work out amino acids
- Mutations: DNA mutations: substitution, insertion and deletions. Effects of mutations: silent mutations, nonsense mutations, missense mutations. Chromosomal mutations: aneuploidy, translocation, duplication, inversion and deletion
- Regulation of Gene Expression: What it is and why it is important, mechanisms of regulating gene expression: transcription factors, DNA methylation, histone acetylation, operons - with the example of the lac operon, interfering RNA.
Benefits of my Digital INB activities and quizzes:
- They are practically zero prep - just check and assign to Google Classroom!
- They promote independence - students can get stuck into tasks quickly
- With vibrant colors and illustrations, students can really visualize the topic and interact with it
