Goal: Start answering the question, "How do muscle cells make dystrophin proteins or the huntingtin protein that is involved with Huntingtons disease?"
Do Now: Sketch and write on a piece of paper what you know about DNA, genes and chromosomes. How are they related to each other? Mini-Lesson: Background on DNA - Genes - Chromosomes - Take sketch notes. 1) Read the first page of the Lesson 4a packet. Circle all words you need to know more to understand. 2) With a partner to chat with, draw and label a digram of how you think gene expression works from what you just read. 3) Get out your Incremental Modeling Tracker. We will use this to draw our models of how gene expression works as we work through a game where we make a protein: Bioman Protein Race. 4) Write and draw a model for each step of protein synthesis as we play the game. As a class, we will stop and discuss each step to make sure everyone understands the key points and has a model drawn in their tracker. Ticket out: Turn in your tracker to Chris.

Course DescriptionsDramatics usually focuses on the conflicting goals of human beings. However, rather than asking “Why is this human at odds with that human?” this class simply asks “Why is this human?” Students will study organisms on a microscopic level, from cell division to genetics, and learn about and tell the little stories that make us who we are.
