Transcription means a written copy but how can DNA write a message? The video explains transcription and translation as they relate to DNA and RNA. Then in the interactive, scholars practice base pairing and answer analysis...

Help young biologists piece together an understanding of cell structure with a comprehensive review worksheet. Tasking students with describing the function of the organelles found in cells and their relationship with one another,...

Translate the process of protein synthesis to your molecular biologists with this instructional activity. It consists of reading, completing a table as a summary, comprehension questions, and a modeling activity for both transcription...

Three steps are needed to extract DNA from learners' inner cheek cells. The procedure and reasons for each step are explained. As enzymes work on the cells, a series of questions are answered regarding the structure of the DNA molecule....

Young scholars investigate the structure of DNA, replication and transcription. In this DNA lesson plan, students build models of DNA using piper cleaners and paper clips. They demonstrate replication of DNA and transcription of DNA to...

In this RNA worksheet, students determine the function of mRNA and tRNA and create an mRNA strand from a given DNA strand. Students describe and compare the 3 types of RNA. This worksheet has 1 drawing, 2 fill in the blank, and 14 short...

In this chromosome instructional activity students complete a crossword puzzle by answering questions on DNA, nucleic acids, nucleotides and RNA.  

In this DNA learning exercise, students access a website to read about the scientists who make significant contributions to the DNA puzzle. Students complete 7 short answer questions based on the reading. Then students complete 3 short...

For this DNA replication worksheet, students review the steps that take place for DNA replication. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank questions.

This unit will look at the most common biological molecules. The objective is for you to become familiar with the structures and properties of sugars, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides.

Purines and pyrimidines are nucleotides. Their properties are described here and their differences are highlighted. Includes examples of each.
