Description
Objective: To help students understand and interact with Chargaff's rules: DNA base pair rule calculations. This activity is intended for students who have already some background knowledge about the topic, though the walkthrough is scaffolded to help students who benefit from differentiated explanations. My recommendation would be to encourage students to complete this activity as reinforcement at the end of class, as homework, or immediately after guided notes to apply reading comprehension skills. Outline: - 1 title slide - 1 history lesson slide - 1 rules explanation - 1 math exemplar - 10 word problems to prompt calculations This is one practice of the "Everything DNA" unit.
