🧬 DNA Model Methods Workshop

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving HS-LS1-1 Submission Required

The teacher models how a strong biology investigation plan connects a question, a comparison method, and evidence sources using sample DNA strips, codon charts, mutation cards, and protein models. Students examine example approaches for tracing a normal and altered sequence through transcription, translation, and specialized cell function, then identify what data must be recorded to support a later case explanation. The session ends with teams selecting the method type they will use for their health scenario and listing variables, comparison points, and quality checks in their evidence notebooks.
