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)
Student
6A Identify components of DNA, and
describe how information for
specifying the traits of an organism is
carried in the DNA. 6B Recognize
that components that make up the
genetic code are common to all
organisms.
6C Explain the purpose and process
of transcription and translation using
models of DNA and RNA.
6C Explain the purpose and process
