Name: Christina Stewart-Jordan
Subject: Biology I - Genetics
Date: June 23, 2008
Period: 2nd
Objective(s):
The Student Will:
1. Utilize their knowledge of replication and transcription to compete in a game of jeopardy
(DOK 3, Biology 5.a).
Materials:
Textbook, 3-ring binder with 5 tabs, pen and/or pencil, loose leaf paper, and colored pencils.
Do Now:
Think of any questions that you have about the replication and transcription processes. Write down anything that you have trouble understanding.
Set:
I know we’ve uncovered a lot of material in the past week, and since we are having a test later on today, I want to make sure we have the chance to review some materials dealing with Genetics, before you have your real review next period. It’s very similar to the game you played in your last review, except the answers are worth more points and instead of competing for free questions on the test, you’re competing for snacks.
(5 minutes)
The Rules:
1. You will raise your hand to signify you know the answer to the question.
2. If your answer is incorrect, the other team automatically has a chance to answer the question.
3. Each answer will be worth the dollar amount, written on the back of the card.
4. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins their choice of snacks.
5. We will start off the game with a random question. The team to answer that question correctly wins the points and the chance to choose the dollar amount of the next category.
6. Each team is allowed to answer every question! So, if you know the answer, raise your hand as quickly as possible.
7. When it is the next team’s turn, they get to choose the dollar amount of the next category, and so on until there are no more categories left.
8. There is one “wild card” in each stack, which is worth twice the value of that stack. So, if your team answers the wild card correctly and it came from the $20 stack, your team gets $40.
Procedure:
1. Begin teacher-led discussion, starting with the Set (up until the rules) and then the Do Now.
2. Review more material on replication and transcription.
Components of DNA & RNA: [sugar, phosphate group, & nitrogenous base]; Difference- sugar (deoxyribose and ribose) & one of bases (DNA: A-T, RNA: A-U)
Replication- Definition
I. DNA Polymerase, RNA primase, DNA helicase
II. DNA ligase, Okazaki fragments, leading strand, lagging strand
III. Base pair rules: A-T, C-G
Transcription- Definition
I. RNA Polymerase, DNA helicase
II. DNA “rewritten” into mRNA
III. Occurs in nucleus
IV. Three types of RNA involved in making proteins: mRNA, tRNA, & rRNA
V. Base Pair Rules: A-U, C-G
(15 minutes)
3. Start Genetics Jeopardy game (See above Set).
(25 minutes)
4. Allow winning team to select their prize.
5. Closure
Closure:
Congratulations to the winning team! I hope everyone enjoyed the review. It is representative of what will be on your test, so if you have any other questions ask them now. Good luck on your tests. You will do an overall review next period of everything that will be on the test, and you will take your tests fourth period. If there are no more questions, class is dismissed.

Assessment/ Evaluation:
Objective:
Utilize their knowledge of replication and transcription to compete in a game of jeopardy (DOK 3, Biology 5.a).
Informal:
The teacher will listen to students (M) recall the answers to questions on replication and transcription (C), during a game of Genetics Jeopardy.
Formal:
The teacher will administer a test during fourth period, prompting the students to be able identify parts of and summarize the replication and transcription processes (C). Their test scores will be graded and posted in the grade book (D).
