Number of Days:
2 days
Prior Knowledge:
SWBAT state the role of some proteins in the cell
Lesson Objective:
SWBAT relate the basic structure of proteins to their function
Lesson Assessment:
class questioning, test
Benchmark or Standards:
B.1.15 Understand and explain that, in biological systems, structure and function must be considered together B.1.23 Understand that and describe how inserting, deleting, or substituting DNA segments can alter a gene. Recognize that an altered gene may be passed on to every cell that develops from it, and that the resulting features may help, harm, or have little or no effect on the offspring’s success in its environment.
Materials Needed:
Projector, Laptop, PPT slides
Enrichment:
Integrating chemistry to genetics
Accommodations:
Skeleton outline of ppt lecture, Parallel of protein complementarity to a lock and key
Procedures:
| Time | Learning Task | Method or Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Prayer | |
| 50 | Relate structure of various proteins to their functions. | Direct instruction using PowerPoint presentation & class discussion |
| HW | HW: Study for the teacher test | |
| Day 2 | ||
