Biology Prep Lesson Plan
10/20
6A Identify components of DNA,
and describe how information
for specifying the traits of an
organism is carried in the DNA.
6C(S): SWBAT explain the
purpose and process of
transcription and translation
using models of DNA and
RNA.
Warm-Up: Students will draw DNA
structure and label using word bank
provided.
