| Description
of New Content |
How DNA replicates |
| Goals |
Student should understand DNA replication, as evinced by succeful completion of review questions |
| Materials
Needed |
Computer with Power Point (2002), Projector |
| Evaluation |
Questions should be asked continously during lesson. Handout to demonstrate (and test understanding of) the semi-conservative nature of DNA repliaction are also readily available upon internet searches. |
| Extensions |
A natural extension to this lesson is mitosis, since DNA replication will be occurring prior to successful completion of mitosis. Also, as per most textbooks, a natural follow-up is DNA transcription and RNA translation. |
