DNA Replication
In this DNA replication worksheet, students review the steps that take place for DNA replication. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
DNA Modeling
Students study DNA and its nucleotides. They manipulate paper nucleotides of DNA and investigate how the molecule is produced. Paper versions of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogen bases included.
Curated OER
Replication of DNA
In this replication of DNA instructional activity, learners match the correct definition of DNA replication to the terms given. Students also complete given statements with the correct term in the space provided.

COMPARISON OF FOUR-, SIX-, AND EIGHT-bp CUTS IN CALF THYMUS DNA
Students use this laboratory exercise, restriction enzymes to recognize a four-, six-, and eight-nucleotide sequence. Assuming that the four component nucleotides (A, C, T, G) are distributed randomly within a DNA molecule, then any...
Curated OER
Edible DNA
Young scholars use multicolored soft candies (gumdrops and candy orange slices) and toothpicks to create models of DNA structures. They discuss the fact that DNA must copy itself before splitting into two cells. Students demonstrate this...
Curated OER
Transcription and Translation Lab Activity
Students investigate DNA strands. They study the sequence to determine if it is DNA or RNA and write the mRNA nucleotide sequence. After stringing the beads together to create the mRNA sequence they translate it into an amino acid...
Curated OER
Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis
Students cut out the nucleotide models and have an opportunity to relax and chat. Using imagination, students pretend to be molecules acting out protein synthesis and whole body movement.
Curated OER
DNA and Genes
Students analyze the structure of DNA. They describe how the structure of DNA enables it to reproduce itself accurately. Students discuss genes and the sequence of nucleotides occur in DNA.
Concord Consortium
DNA: The Double Helix
Picture a double helix as a twisted ladder. Scholars see this image through a simulation that allows young scientists to observe a small fragment of DNA in many different formats. They compare the models, colors, bonds, and strands as...
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
The RNA Message Is Sometimes Edited
In 1993, Phillip Sharp and Richard Roberts won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of split gene theory. Learn about the breakthrough with the help of an online interactive. Hear both scientists explain it in their own words, watch an...
Exploratorium
Secret Codon - Write a Message in DNA
String up a message. Pupils string together colored beads to code a word or short phrase. Each color represents one of the four DNA bases. Using a combination of three bases, learners create an amino acid that stand for each letter of...
Curated OER
Genetic Challenge Worksheet
In this genetics worksheet, students describe how to tell the difference between DNA, RNA, and proteins. Students also learn about the processes of transcription and translation. This worksheet has 3 short answer and 3 fill in the blank...
Curated OER
Transcription, Translation, and the Genetics of Microbes
Students construct various virus models using Fruit loops and Alphabits to represent nucleotides and molecules. They constructs capsomeres using shoes as the capsomeres and discuss various viruses.
Curated OER
Electrophoresis Analogy
Students participate in a simulation of electrophoresis separation of DNA fragments. They link arms to form DNA fragments with each student representing a nucleotide. As they move through an obstacle course they discover how fragments...
Curated OER
Protein Synthesis: Transcription
In this transcription worksheet, students color in a drawing of a DNA molecule that is going through the process of transcription.
Curated OER
Protein Factory
Students examine protein synthesis and how DNA is transcribed. In this investigative activity students play a role in the messenger RNA when it creates nucleotides.
Curated OER
Comparison of Four-, Six-, And Eight-bp Cuts in Calf Thymus Dna
Students investigate the use of restriction enzymes to recognize a four-, six-, and eight-nucleotide sequence. They utilize restrictive endonucleases to cut Thymus DNA and compare results by viewing the DNA fragments on Agarose Gel...
Curated OER
The Living Environment
Ninth graders study the work of Alice Huang and complete activities on mutations. In this investigative lesson students complete several activities and discuss their findings at the end.
Curated OER
The Four Groups of Biologically Important Compounds
This is not they typical set of teacher instructions. It is an organized chart of the important organic compounds. For each, the involved elements, the name of the building block monomers, the names of polymers, extra information, and a...
