DNA & PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - INHERITANCE, VARIATION & EVOLUTION
The lesson begins with a recap on the genetic structures found within an organism, students will need to order the organisms in terms of size. Students can then self-assess their work, using the answers provided.
Next, students are taught about the structure of DNA, using detailed diagrams. Children will have a few minutes to study the structure of a DNA nucleotide, it will then be covered up and they will need to try and recreate the diagram, including key words. This task can then be self-assessed.
Students will now be shown a video, which outlines the way in which nucleotides are bound together by complimentary base-pairing. Whilst watching the video, students will need to answer a set of questions. The answers to this video are on the next slide, so students can either self-assess or peer-assess their work.
The next part of the lesson focuses on protein synthesis. This starts with a description, and diagram, of how DNA is copied via the process of transcription. Students will watch a short animation on the PowerPoint which further outlines this process, they will then need to complete a fill-in-the-blank task. This can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided.
Next, children will look at the structure of DNA and mRNA and compare the two, they will complete a table which outlines the similarities and differences between these two molecules. This can be self-assessed using the answers provided.
The latter part of the lesson is on translation, children will be given a description and shown a short animation of the process of translation. After this, a video will be shown and students will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching. The answers to this task are included in the PowerPoint, and children will need to self-assess their work once it is complete.
The final activity is an exam-style question on DNA, and the plenary task is for children to collate a list of key words that are useful for this topic.
