Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will answer a practice SATP2 question.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will write down 3 things they remember about transcription on a
sticky note. The teacher will call them up to the board and they will say one
important fact they remember.
- The teacher will lecture on translation (protein synthesis).
- The students will then complete a worksheet on the process of protein synthesis
including a codon chart.
- The students will fold a piece of paper in half and on one side they will draw out
the stages of protein synthesis and on the other side they will write a summary
about it.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students will need to know the process of how proteins are made before they can
know what might happen when the process goes wrong.

Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will answer a practice SATP2 question.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The teacher will show the students a video about a specific mutation that occurs
(sickle cell). The students will complete a quick write about their observations and
what they think causes this.
- The teacher will lecture on chromosomal mutations.
- The students will complete a genetic disorder research simulation. They will
research 3 different genetic disorders.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students will know what causes these mutations that they will come in contact with
throughout their lifetime.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will answer a practice SATP2 question.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will write down what they took away from the activity they
completed yesterday. They will then turn and talk, then the teacher will perform a
cold call.
- The teacher will lecture on gene mutations while the students take notes.
- The students will complete a colorblind test.
- The students will complete a worksheet that gives them practice on DNA
mutations and the proteins that result from the mutation.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students will put into practice the processes of mutations that they have learned
about in class. They will learn next class how DNA tech is used in the real world.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will answer a practice SATP2 question.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will have several scenarios where people were or were not convicted
of a crime and asked how DNA could have changed the outcome. In a group of 4
each one will have a different scenario. They will then share will each other then
the class.
- The teacher will lecture on DNA technology.
- The students will perform an online DNA finger print activity. This includes
making a DNA fingerprint and analyzing it.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students will need this information for their summative assessment tomorrow.
