This activity is used in an introductory biology course to help teach experimental design and characteristics of life.  Students use real research videos and art to help explore the concepts.

This resource is a project that allows students to explore careers related to the topic of Genetics.  Students will research a career that interests them related to Genetics, create a presentation, then present to the class.

Using three-dimensional scaffolds, these materials address the following topics:  - Structure & Function of DNA. - DNA Replication via Polymerase. - Transcription & Translation.  - Codons & Amino Acids Sequences. Each packet is broken into five parts - data dive, core ideas, investigations, asssessments, and life connections. Formative assessments and checkpoints are embedded throughout each packet. The final packet prepares students for a summative assessment, with a provided practice assessment. Implementation instructions are embedded for each component of each packet. PDFs are included as attachments (in case the file formats are altered by this system).
