Cells
In three groups
Make a clay model of a plant, animal and bacterial cell.
Include these organelles:
nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, mitochondria, DNA, vacuole.
Match up and state what kind of cell each is found in
DNA
nucleus
cell membrane
cell wall
chloroplast
mitochondria
DNA
vacuole.
Genetic code
Keeps plant firm
Do photosynthesis
Controls what enters
make energy
Help maintain shape
Where DNA is stored
Nucleus
The nucleus is where the DNA is found in plant and animal cells.
These kind of cells are eukaryotic
(this means they have a nucleus)
Bacteria
Bacterial cells don't have a nucleus.
they are prokaryotic
Extracting DNA
We can remove the DNA from cells. How do you think we get it out?
As a group act out the extraction of DNA
Homework
Research the discovery of DNA.
You need to find out about the roles of four key scientists.
Watson, Crick, Franklin and Wilkins
What did each discover?
What is the structure of DNA?
I would like this done as either a powerpoint or a poster on the computer
