Webquests & Additional
Student Worksheets |
 |
DNA Worksheet
– 24 question worksheet about the structure of
DNA. |
 |
DNA Interactive
– site that has multiple worksheets and paper activities for
DNA ranging from DNA origami to group work on genetic ethics. VERY
GOOD SITE!!! |

 |
Snork Activity
– GREAT paper activity where students transcribe a section of
Snork DNA, to then translate the RNA into amino acids, and each amino
acid sequence relates to a gene (hairless, round eyes, etc.) of their
Snork. After the students finish and have a selection of genes students
draw their Snork with it’s characteristics. |
