This two-part lesson was written for middle/top sets. These lessons are are designed to provoke discussion and thought about the discovery and mechanism of DNA.
The first lesson is some basic history, theory and discussion about DNA. The presentation includes three YOU TUBE links - each one explaining, with increasing complexity, how DNA actually works.
The narrative is loose and visual so the lesson can follow the students questions but the slide sequence ensures that the learning objectives will be covered. At the end, if you have time, there are 'book-work' references to consolidate learning.
The second lesson contains a step-by-step method, resources and safety instructions for students to extract (and observe) DNA from Kiwi fruit. This is a brilliant and memorable, multi-step practical which always engages and enthralls students.
An excellent resource for Science teachers written by a science teacher with over 20 years’ experience of working in a range of Schools. This lesson (and the scheme of work it is part of) has been successfully trialed in a state Academy and has been used (and improved each time) over three different classes.
