This is a lesson which meets specification points within the OCR Gateway Science - B1 -Cell-Level Systems SoW.
This lesson starts with a description, and diagram, of how DNA is copied via the process of transcription. Students will watch a short animation on the PowerPoint which further outlines this process, they will then need to complete a fill-in-the-blank task. This can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided.
Next, children will look at the structure of DNA and mRNA and compare the two, they will complete a table which outlines the similarities and differences between these two molecules. This can be self-assessed using the answers provided.
The latter part of the lesson is on translation, children will be given a description and shown a short animation of the process of translation. After this, a video will be shown and students will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching. The answers to this task are included in the PowerPoint, and children will need to self-assess their work once it is complete.
The final activity is an exam-style question on DNA.
