DNA

Students will learn about DNA base pairs. As a team they will send a student to read a sequence of DNA/RNA and will have their group duplicate or sequence the complimentary base pair. Students will

In this fifth grade lesson plan, students extract DNA after reading about a young girl who is persistent in showing her parents she can be responsible. Students engage in identifying character traits

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students construct candy DNA models to explore its structure, base pairing rules, and replication, enriching their understanding of genetics.

This engaging lesson is a forensic lesson. Can the students identify if the grandkids belong to the long-lost grandparents or a very terrible war? Students will run gel electrophoresis and compare

In this lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens

This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a

Building a DNA model in the classroom can be a fun and engaging activity for students to understand the structure and properties of DNA. This is a simplified model to help students visualize DNA, as
