7/8 Grade DNA Project

Hi Guys!  While I'm gone today--I've got a lot of fun planned for you:)   You should have received a worksheet from your sub today so here is how you complete the worksheet:

1.  Go to this site: http://www.nature.ca/genome/04/0413_e.cfm
2.  Type in your first name and record your DNA codons on your worksheet.
3.  Go to this site:  http://www.nature.ca/genome/05/051/0511/0511_m205_e.cfm.  Scroll down until about mid way through the page and follow the instructions to make your "DNA on a String Zipper Pull"
4.  After you have finished your zipper pull, you will go to this site:  http://www.nature.ca/genome/04/041/0415_e.cfm to answer questions on your sheet about "Copy Cat."
5.  After "Copy Cat"  go to this site: http://www.nature.ca/genome/04/041/041_e.cfm and play "Race the Cell" and record your answers on your sheet.
6.  Turn in your sheet at the end of class today!  Hope you learned a lot and had a little fun:)
