⭐ Unit Overview:
In this DNA unit, students will uncover the mysteries of DNA, the fundamental molecule of life. Students will explore the historical milestones that led to the discovery of DNA's structure, tracing the pioneering work of Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick. Moving deeper into the unit, students investigate the structure and function of DNA . Through detailed investigations, students will decode the structure of DNA, unravelling the double helix, and understanding the composition of nucleotides, phosphate-sugar backbones, and the pivotal role of base pairing. As this unit progresses, students will uncover the multifaceted roles of DNA, extending from its function as the store of genetic information to its central involvement in the encoding of traits through DNA base pairing and the central dogma of molecular biology. This unit emphasizes the practical application of DNA knowledge, paving the way for a deep appreciation of its significance in both biological sciences and our daily lives.
