==DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis- exploring replication, transcription, and translation in the cell. What steps are required for making a protein? Where at in the cell do each of these steps occur? If and if done incorrectly- what are possible outcomes for the cell (ex: what disorders will result)?==
 * Lesson Topic and Description:**

**__Focus on Concepts:Mickey Mouse Singlets are my Favorite!__**

 * DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis

**__Provision for Acceleration and Compression of Content__**

 * Pretest prior knowledge of protein synthesis and dna
 * Overview of DNA/RNA and Replication
 * KNOWLEDGE-
 * DEFINE the difference between DNA and RNA
 * RECOGNIZE major vocabulary associated with DNA and RNA

**__Enrichment__**

 * Animation of replication, transcription, translation
 * Paper Modeling of different protein structure...Origami of protein structure is a way to understand where a misfold occurs and why.
 * Research genetic disorders that are created from improper protein folding or incorrect amino acid production
 * Use a game format to connect amino acids back to RNA and protein synthesis
 * Make models of the different types of RNA
 * Examine the work of Watson, Crick, Franklin, and Wilkins
 * UNDERSTANDING-
 * IDENTIFY- the four major steps in protein folding and describe what each step looks like

**__More Advanced Reading and Vocabulary__**

 * Read Articles describing the outcomes of protein sythesis- what effects do they have on the body when not working correctly
 * Genetic Textbook (college level) description of processess
 * APPLICATION-
 * CATEGORIZE- the different bases of RNA and DNA and structuraly why they are used differently in transcription and translation

**__Use of Primary Sources, Artifacts, and Real World Objects__**

 * Bring in a geneticist to discuss with students how disorders are diagnosed
 * Extract DNA from meat

**__Interdisciplinary Connections__**

 * English- researching a genetic disorder, presenting information
 * History- historical timeline of major discoveries in the world of DNA and Genetics

**__Includes In-Depth and Critical Analysis__**

 * Predict what might happen if a certain protein folds improperly.
 * ANALYSIS-
 * EXAMINE- what mistakes can occur in protein folding
 * EVALUATING-
 * CONCLUDE-and what disorders/issues they create

**__Fosters Creative Expression__**

 * ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Design a brochure/prezi/powerpoint
 * ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Create a video of protein synthesis
 * CREATING-
 * DESIGN- a brochure of your genetic disorder

‍ **__Exploration of Areas of Choice__**
=Assessment=
 * Choose a possible step that could occur incorrectly & research the possible outcomes.
 * Research brown bear rna vs. black bear rna
 * Students will interview a DNA strand who is preparing to enter into trasncription/translation/replication.
 * Create journal entry on how it feels to be DNA during replication
 * Students will demonstrate using a model the steps that DNA takes to make a protein

**PROJECTS**

 * Students detail a DNA strand going into replication, and transcription, and finish their journey outside the nuclues with their friend RNA during translation.
