Learning about DNA and RNA is important because they are the molecules that store and transmit genetic information, guiding the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms. Understanding DNA and RNA helps explain how traits are inherited, how cells function, and how genetic mutations can lead to diseases. This knowledge is crucial for advancements in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology, including areas like gene therapy, personalized medicine, and genetic engineering, which have the potential to transform health care and agriculture. With this in mind, let’s engage with this incredible learning resource.

Genetics Complete Unit | Middle / High School Biology | 8th 9th 10th 11th Grade
This Genetics Complete Unit is perfect for middle school science, biology / life science and even AP biology in order to give students the basics and more regarding this incredible topics and sub-topics. Students can learn through reading, research, theory slides (lecturing), worksheets with problems, critical thinking development, gamified learning and hands-on mathematics & art related interactives. The range is excellent, the resources are sleek, slick and professional for middle / high school students to really bring an air of professional learning for students. Now including an implementation guide as well - including suggested prompts / real world connections for further connections on relevant resources, proposed essential questions and definitions and four proposed routes through this unit - four pathways, two on complete sequences, one with a focus on middle school and one with a focus on high school with lesson by lesson breakdown which are Fundamentals First Focus, Fundamentals First Condensed, Middle School Focus and High School Focus including learning objectives for each lesson as well. This unit bundle is currently one of my best products to date and is just bursting with great value. It has so much content that covers these topics and the fringes of them, that you can pick and choose how you approach the unit and what you want to front-load, prioritize and which skills you want to focus on building with your students. It is truly a great resource and offering from me to you. It has 241 pages, 129 slides & a supporting implementation guide of content covering so much engaging materials it is a great addition to any classroom. THIS GENETICS UNIT HAS SO MUCH VALUE! * Genetics Strange but true facts + 2 truths and a lie Activity * Genetics Presentation Slides * Genetic Traits Sketching Activity * Dihybrid Probability Sketching Activity * 18 Genetics Worksheets (including summative assessments) * 4 Genetic Pedigrees Worksheets * Critical Thinking Framework - Heredity & Traits * Critical Thinking Framework - Genetic Pedigrees * Genetic Engineering Research Project Template * Genetic Inheritance Research Project Template * DNA & RNA Research Project Template * Genetic Pedigrees Research Project Template * Science Article - Genetic Engineering * Science Article - Heredity & Traits * Science Article - DNA & RNA * Science Article - Adaptations in Populations * Science Article - Selective Breeding * Science Article - Genetic Pedigrees * Science Story - Honing in on Heredity - Gregor Mendel * Science Story - Discovering DNA - Rosalind Franklin It has 20 products and teaches students through a variety of engaging teaching methods with different content, skills focus and support for learning.

DNA & RNA | Science Research Project + Article #79 | Biology | Life Science
Learning about DNA and RNA is important because they are the molecules that store and transmit genetic information, guiding the growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms. Understanding DNA and RNA helps explain how traits are inherited, how cells function, and how genetic mutations can lead to diseases. This knowledge is crucial for advancements in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology, including areas like gene therapy, personalized medicine, and genetic engineering, which have the potential to transform health care and agriculture. With this in mind, let's engage with this incredible learning resource. The research project template provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an project template with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation. Each research project template includes space for a one paragraph summary (that may or may not link to the 2 page science article also available on this topic). Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. Further there are 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words and 3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer. Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking. The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you. The science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable). WHY / WHEN TO USE: * Useful for substitute (sub) teaching * To extend students * To increase scientific literacy and research skills in your class * Great as a lesson filler when class goes too fast and you need a long running task * To inspire students on a particular topic * As a scaffold to support students who need support on research skills and can use a framework * To enhance critical thinking when doing research and making a relevant and interesting output * Give a selection of these research project templates for students to choose from * To enhance students ability to express ideas and synthesis knowledge * To increase scientific literacy in your class * A weekly reading / research task WHAT'S INCLUDED: Research Project Template * 7 page Word doc teacher version with supporting appendix items * 3 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 7 page PDF teacher version with supporting appendix items * 3 page PDF student version with space to fill in answers * 1 - 20 point rubric in both PDF and word form for self and teacher marking. Science Article * 3 page Word doc teacher version with answers * 2 page Word doc student version with room to fill in answers (text boxes) * 3 page PDF teacher version with answers * 2 page PDF student version without answers (but space left to do so) More will be coming to cover other subjects and other topics, so please do keep an eye out for more science articles from The Teaching Astrophysicist!
