Practical Proteins (Part 1 of 4)
In this lesson students are introduced to the idea that DNA is the code to create proteins and that proteins can be structural or functional. Students are given a problem to create a model of a protein that can accomplish a particular function. Students will work in pairs to use the given materials to construct a "protein" that will remove a "nutrient" from a container and transport it along a wire. Once student have a working protein, they will create a detailed diagram in which the label each part of the protein and identify what it does for the structure of the protein.

In this lesson students will continue to learn about protein synthesis. At the beginning of this lesson students should know that genes have the code to make proteins. Today they will be introduced to
In this multi-day lesson, students will learn about prosthetics, design and build a model of a prosthetic limb, research prosthetics today and then have a Socratic Seminar to both share and debate
