DNA Structure Lesson Plan for Teachers
DNA Structure: http://molvis.sdsc.edu/dna
- Have the students meet in a computer lab where each pair
of students (or each student) has a computer. It is probably
good if students work in pairs.
- Hand out the
questions on paper. Tell the
students which question numbers you want them to try to answer, and
how much time they have. Having students work in pairs is probably
good. You may wish to tell them to skip questions they
get stuck on. Explain that they are to use the interactive molecular
graphics to help answer the questions.
- After the announced time,
hand out the answers, and have each pair grade another pair's answers.
Encourage discussion between the groups.
Answers to the Questions
are available to teaching faculty who inquire with an
email to emartz@microbio.umass.edu providing evidence of
their faculty positions, such as by reference to a school or
college website listing faculty. Please state the name of your school,
city, state/province, and country.
