Meiosis, Enzymes and DNA

Monday Dec 3
QFD : Nothing says holidays, like a cheese log. Ellen DeGeneryes

This weeks learning objective : LS1.A: Structure and Function
All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins.
Today’s performance objective: students will know and understand the role of enzymes involved in DNA replication and protein synthesis
Essential question of the Day: describe the role enzymes play in making proteins
1) video clip notes
2) handout

Key Vocabulary:
Transformation
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Nucleotide
Nitrogenous base
Double helix
Pyrimidine
Purine
DNA Replication
DNA polymerase
Adenine
Guanine
Thymine
Cytosine

QFD : I learned from my grandmother, who grew up in devastating war times, how important it is to keep with tradition and celebrate the holidays during tough times.
This weeks learning objective : LS1.A: Structure and Function
All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins.
Today’s performance objective: students will know and be able to : describe the three major steps involved in protein synthesis
Essential question of the Day: analyze how replication , transcription, and translation are necessary processes that contribute to homeostasis

1) notes video
2) handout

Key Vocabulary:
Ribonucleic acid

QFD : I find that it’s the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.Amy Adams
This weeks learning objective : LS1.A: Structure and Function
All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins.
Today’s performance objective: students will know and be able to : create a visual representation of one of the parts involved in protein synthesis
Essential question of the Day: what does the structure of DNA actually look like ? What do the parts represent ?
1) students will create a visual representation of a component of DNA replication ( assigned parts)

Thursday dec 6
QFD : Holidays are all different depending on the company and time of your life.
This weeks learning objective : LS1.A: Structure and Function
All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins.
Today’s performance objective: students will know and be able to : demonstrate an understanding of the objective by achieving 70% or higher on a test
Essential question of the Day: what role does DNA play in creating proteins?
1) test

QFD : The holidays stress people out so much. I suggest you keep it simple and try to have as much fun as you can.Giada De Laurentiis
This weeks learning objective : LS1.A: Structure and Function
All cells contain genetic information in the form of DNA molecules. Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins.
Today’s performance objective: students will know and be able to : deo,on started and understand of protein synthesis and DNA replication by performing a kinesthetic demonstration
Essential question of the Day: which components are most necessary for DNA replication to occur, rank them in order and justify your ranking in a few words
1) DNA Lab
