Date: |||| Grade: || The students in this class are 10th grade BioChem at Sussex Technical High School. The students are heterogeneously grouped with varying back rounds in Science. I teach one “shared approach” class in which I have another teacher in my class to assist the 6 special education students. || The unit concerning DNA and Genetics is the 3rd in a unit plan of curriculum kits for 10th grade science. The DNA portion of the kit discusses the importance of DNA, how it is made, how it is passed on from generation to generation, and how science has made advancements in to the discovery and understanding of the Human Genome. ||  This animation takes the students through a tour of a typical human cell, moving from larger to smaller cell structures (i.e., from nucleus to chromosomes to DNA strands and their bases). It briefly describes some of these structures and describes how DNA strands are constructed. This animation will be used as an introduction into the unit on DNA. ||  This unit is integral in the student’s understanding that cells are the fundamental working units of every living system. All the instructions needed to direct their activities are contained within the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Emphasis will be placed on the fact that genes are specific sequences of bases that encode instructions on how to make proteins.  Through following this lesson, students will also learn to extract DNA and to be able to see how this process can be used in the medical as well as the field of law enforcement. ||
