Transform your class' understanding of genes and antibiotic resistance with the Transformation Lab. Junior geneticists create and observe their own resistant strains of E. coli through research, discussion, and experimentation. The...
Curated OER
Cell Division
Students describe the cell cycle. They make a connection between DNA replication and cell division. Students describe the parts of the cell that participate in cell division and the steps of cell division.
Curated OER
DNA Replication
Learners create a model of DNA and simulate replication with their models in an activity that uses licorice, colored marshmallows, and toothpicks. Students also label a diagram of replication and indicate major parts of the DNA molecule.
Curated OER
Clues to Copying the Code
In this DNA activity, students access a website to determine the information that was used to understand DNA replication. Students compare the difference between observations and opinions. This activity has 7 short answer questions and 1...
Curated OER
2D Animation of Cellular Processes
Students create an animation of a cell process and insert it into a presentation. They choose a cellular process such as mitosis, osmosis or DNA replication, and create a simple 2D animation.
