AGENDA:
- Objectives: Use plastic pop beads to model the process of DNA replication
Warm-up: What must usually happen to the entire set of DNA molecules contained in any cell before that cell can successfully divide into two daughter cells?
- Overview of DNA replication, including video clip [20]
- Turn in origami DNA double helix model
- DNA replication activity [40 - 50]
- TSOTS Student Blog Post #6
- Make sure DNA wrapping/replication questions are fully answered and placed in your Google Drive Biology folder
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
- Finish TSOTS Student Blog Post #6
- Think about which ESLP projects you might want to do this semester—signups begin next week!
