DNA Transcribed
In this DNA instructional activity, students describe how the cell stores all of the data needed to produce the required proteins for the body. Then they describe the ribosomes division and how is attaches itself to RNA and makes protein...
Curated OER
DNA
For this DNA worksheet, 9th graders read a brief excerpt pertaining to the genetic code and identify how proteins know which cell to create. Then they use the genetic code dictionary to draw a diagram showing the codons for an imaginary...

BUILD A BURGER
Students recognize and name the products used to build a hamburger. They review the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Students are given worksheets, and they match the burger parts to the picture parts. They conduct a taste test on samples of the...
Curated OER
Hunger/ Nutrition
Seventh graders investigate nutrients and nutrition to determine what types of food the body needs for energy. They study each type of nutrient and why it is important to the body. They determine what a balanced diet is by completing the...
Curated OER
Building You From Moo
Students are given an envelope that turns each of them into either a field of grass, or a diary cow, or a famous person (only one type of organism per student). The object is to get the correct building blocks for proteins (amino acids)...
Curated OER
Building YOU from MOO
Learners build protiens according to whether they are suppose to be a plant, a cow, or a person. They discover that all proteins are made from the same amino acids and it is just the order of these amino acids that change.
Curated OER
Anticodons And Amino Acids Game
Students examine the process of protein synthesis. In small groups, they select an index card, and translate the DNA to an amino acid, and define the words on an anticodon/amino acid chart.
Curated OER
Growing Barley and Detecting the Presence of Amino Acids
Students produce the greatest mass of plant material possible for 100 seeds of barley, and detect amino acids in barley plant material. They develop rules for the investigation, conduct the experiment, and prepare a computer spreadsheet...
Curated OER
Relationships and Biodiversity
Students examine diversity on the planet and the differences within a species. In this investigative lesson plan students complete a lab that allows students to better understand the relatedness between plants.

Chemistry Worksheet 14
In this chemistry worksheet, students sketch several diagrams of different peptide chains. Students sketch diagrams of galactose and fructose.
Curated OER
Nutrient Biochemistry
In this nutrient biochemistry worksheet, students complete the blanks with information about nucleic acids and the process. Students also draw a figure referenced in the text given.
Curated OER
Nutrient Biochemistry
In this proteins worksheet, students review how amino acids are sequenced to determine types of proteins. Students also review how proteins are used by the body. This worksheet has 2 drawing and 24 fill in the blank statements.
Curated OER
Proteins
In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to types of proteins. There are 22 biology terms located in the word search.
