A 17-page practice final exam for a college-level introductory biology course is contained in this resource. Matching and short answer questions cover every topic that you would expect to teach during an advanced biology course including...

Future geneticists use base pairing rules to build DNA and RNA polypeptide strands, and then explain both transcription and translation. Although the chains themselves are a little blurry, there is plenty of room in them for learners to...

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.

This quiz just looks neat! It has two cell diagrams for biology class members to label. They also describe the function of each organelle. A prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are displayed for them to compare, and then they fill in the...

In this DNA instructional activity, students access a website to learn how DNA fragments are separated through the process of gel electrophoresis. Then students model the construction of DNA fingerprints and practice interpreting...

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...

Students use DNA fingerprinting to demonstrate the concept that DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify individuals and solve problems. They use gel electrophoresis to analyze the DNA of a suspected criminal to prove innocence or guilt.

Young scholars extract their own DNA from cheek cells. In this biology instructional activity, students explain the replication process. They identify the structure and composition of DNA.

Students identify DNA in a crime scenario. For this DNA lesson, students perform paper chromatography and compare it against the pens of various suspects.

Students perform different activities about DNA for a week in order to celebrate DNA Week and raise their awareness of DNA. The teacher is provided with a different theme for each day.

Students use their knowledge of DNA fingerprinting to evaluate the use fingerprints in courts, and will address the ethics of establishing a national database of fingerprints.

Young scholars extract the DNA from a strawberry. In this DNA technology lesson plan, students describe what they think DNA looks like. They use a procedure to isolate and extract the DNA from a strawberry.

Young scholars explore the DNA of strawberries. In this science instructional activity, students extract the DNA of strawberries. Young scholars complete a lab report.

Students participate in a lab activity in which they extract DNA from a strawberry. After mashing the strawberry into an even, smooth puree inside a bag, they add extraction buffer and mix the strawberry with the buffer. They filter...

Young scholars examine agarose gels to compare a known DNA sample to an unknown sample to determine the quantity and size of an unknown DNA sample.

In this DNA technology worksheet, students look at genetic engineering and how it has helped humans. Then students will read about the human genome and how DNA fingerprinting is used in crime scenes. This worksheet has 4 short answer...

Students study DeoxyriboNucleic Acid or commonly known as DNA and discover importance of DNA strand, chromosomes, and genes.

Students examine new vocabulary words from a news report about human DNA being implanted in rice and grown in Kansas. Students read the article and discuss the vocabulary terms as well as take a quiz and complete a worksheet to help...

Young scholars role play an honorary detective to assist in solving a crime committed. They investigate by a bank robbery and interview eyewitnesses using their Crime Investigation Notebook and clues from an eyewitness account from the...

Biology aces analyze restriction maps to determine the relationships among different primate species and then complete a cladogram. Preface this lesson with an explanation of how restriction enzymes are used to create the DNA maps....

Students research different areas of biotechnology. In this biology lesson, students create a presentation about their research. They debate the topic presented and share their views on the subject.

Students summarize their classmates' presentation in class. For this biology lesson, students create a graphic organizer based on concepts presented. They discuss and share their organizer.

Students study DNA research and genetic engineering. Also, they learn why diversity among people are important.

Students explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules
