|
AIM: To have students be able to understand why cells make certain protein types. RATIONALE: The gene theory is the second of the underlying concepts of modern biologic thinking; it explains how cells are able create and maintain high levels of organization and thus carry out complex processes needed to create life.OBJECTIVES: 1. Students will be able describe the structure of DNA and RNA. 2. Students will be able to explain how information is stored within the DNA and RNA molecules. 3. Students will be able to describe how new strands of DNA are created from older strands of DNA. 4. Students will be able to explain how strands of RNA can be created from DNA strands. 5. Students will be able to explain the roles of the various types of RNAs. 6. Students will be able to explain how RNA strands can direct the production of poly peptides at a ribosome. AUDIENCE: High school freshmen PRE-REQUISTES: Have taken any science lab based program in elementary school; has basic math skills MATERIALS: 1. Text 2. Laboratory Manuals 3. Computer with printer 4.
