PREAP Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION
SCAFFOLD: Students will identify the components of DNA and describe how genetic information is carried in DNA. After identifying the
components of the structure of DNA, students will explain how DNA is transcribed and translated into amino acids to make proteins.
ACCELERATE: PREAP – purines, pyrimidines, Chromosomal abnormalitites, gene mutations, cancer, enzymes
GROUP: K’nex kits-building a DNA model, K’NEX kits-modeling DNA replication, transcription and translation

Student Outcomes
(Objectives)
5A Describe the stages of the cell
cycle , including DNA replication
and mitosis, and the importance of
the cell cycle to the growth of
organisms. 5D Recognize that
disruptions of the cell cycle lead to
diseases such as cancer.
6A Identify components of DNA,
and describe how information for
specifying the traits of an organism
is carried in the DNA.
