New lesson for Biology educators! 🧬 Modeling DNA Replication (Grades 9–12)
How do we actually know how DNA replicates? This free, NGSS aligned lesson lets students work through the evidence themselves.
Created by #APBiology teacher and #SCLAmbassador Minu Basu, this 45–70 minute lesson walks students through the classic Meselson–Stahl experiment, comparing three competing models of DNA replication and using data to figure out which one holds up.
In the classroom, students will:
🧬 Examine different DNA replication models
🔍 Analyze real experimental data
🧪 Predict density banding across generations
🤏 Model DNA replication using colored pipe cleaners
đź“Š Practice scientific reasoning and data analysis
Join Minu for our free webinar TOMORROW 1/8 at 7pm ET | 4pm PT where she’ll walk through the lesson, share classroom tips, and answer questions. 👉 RSVP to attend: https://lnkd.in/ezVxWj4u
