Week of 4/6 - 4/10:  Begin Distance Learning - Introduction to DNA

       *  Watch the Amoeba sisters Introduction to DNA video.  Take notes on 1) DNA's structure 2) DNA's function - what does it do

                3) the three parts of a nucleotide 4) the base pairing rules.  Submit the notes microsoft teams (preferred) or email.

       *  Download the completed note outline.  These notes along with the ones from the video should help you understand the basic

               structure of DNA.

       *  Download the "Introduction to DNA POGIL" assignment.  All of the information that you need to answer the questions is given in 

               the assignment and can be found in the video, note outline or in your book.  Complete the assignment - either print, fill out, 

                take a picture & send in OR  type answers on a word document and submit.

Week of 4/13 - 4/17:  DNA Replication & Transcription

        *   Read over the summary (notes) about how a cell copies its DNA - Replication

        *  Print out the note outline for transcription and fill in using the Transcription Power Point.  Take your time going over the notes..

              this topic can get confusing.  Submit the completed notes on Microsoft Teams.

        *  If the notes confuse you, watch the following clip on Transcription (stop the video at 1:15) 

        *  You will create a simple story that explains DNA replication and transcription to a MIDDLE SCHOOLER.  You will type this up 

               and submit through Microsoft Teams.  Here is an explanation of the assignment.

Week of 4/20 - 4/24:  Translation (The Entire Process of Protein Synthesis)

         *  Part 1: Take the quiz

         *  Part 2:  Print out the note outline for translation and fill in using the video attached on Microsoft Teams.  Submit the completed

                notes on Microsoft Teams.

         *  Part 3:  Print out and fill in the Translation Wrap-up.  It is important to understand the process of translation and protein synthesis

                as a whole.  Watch the animation attached.  It should help with the process of translation.
