Teach students the structure of DNA with this student centered, cut and paste lesson. Students will use dice to randomly generate a 5-base DNA sequence, color a template strand according to their sequence, and then color, cut out and glue on the antiparallel, complimentary strand. Concepts Covered• DNA is a polymer • A nucleotide is the monomer • Structure of a nucleotide • 4 Nitrogenous Bases (A, G, C & T) • 3’ - 5’ direction • Antiparallel • Complimentary Base Pairing Materials Needed: Stu

This resource makes teaching macromolecules easy. Included are slides, note templates and practice. Carbon, Functional Groups, Carbohydrates, Lipids and Proteins are covered. Plus, a word puzzle to practice vocabulary and recognizing molecules once all of the lessons are complete.

Here are your first to lessons for your genetics unit. Introduction to Genetics and Building Pea Plants. The first lesson is a teacher led Powerpoint presentation to introduce students to the concepts of dominant alleles, recessive alleles, homozygous, and heterozygous...All from the perspective of Gregor Mendel performing experiments on pea plants! Students colour and fill in blanks on an accompanying sheet as they listen to the slideshow. The back of the student handout has follow up pr
