DNA Flipbook
Objective: You will create an informational Flipbook explaining in words and
pictures the parts of DNA, DNA replication, Transcription, and Translation.
As you complete each task, place a check to keep track of your progress.
Label each flip as outlined below.
Directions: Each page should be titled and include
headings for different topics. Each page should be
thoughtfully planned before starting. Use MOST of the
space on each page and use color to make information
easy to read and stand out. You can use the top and
Name: ______
bottom of each flip. You may include more
Per: ____
information and pictures than outlined below. The
prompts are to GUIDE you to make an informational
book. It should NOT read as though you are answering
DNA STRUCTURE
questions.
DNA REPLICATION
RNA & CENTRAL DOGMA
TRANSCRIPTION
TRANSLATION
