Science - Lesson #5: Translation

EOU Exam on Thursday, May 1st

Science

Lesson #5:

RNA to Protein

Translation

Learning Intention:

Students will be able to compare, contrast and synthesize why/how transcription occurs.

Success Criteria:

I am successful when I can...

1. Compare and contrast DNA from RNA

2. Transfer my knowledge of RNA structure to Protein.

3. Synthesize how DNA transcribes into mRNA and then is translated into amino acids.

Agenda:

Part 1: Warm-Up

Part 2: GPS Learning

Part 3: Echo-Echo-Choral-Choral

Part 4: Video

Part 5: Codon Chart #1

Part 6: Codon Chart #2

Reminders:

1) Quiz on Tuesday, April 1st

2) Mock regents on Tuesday, April 1st.

(3 min)

Translation - is the process where the ribosome uses the instructions from RNA to build a protein by putting together amino acids in the right order.

Codon - is a group of three letters (bases) in RNA that gives the ribosome instructions to add a specific amino acid when making a protein. It's like a three-letter word in the recipe for building proteins.
