DNA and RNA Structure & Function Animated and Interactive PowerPoint Lesson

This PowerPoint presentation (and FREE guided notes) compares and contrasts the general structures of DNA and RNA and presents their overall functions in protein synthesis. If you are interested in a lesson bundle with an aligned activity (digital escape room), then click HERE. This lesson is meant to be introductory to the more in-depth lecture on transcription and translation the following class. You could also present this in the macromolecule/biochemistry unit in the beginning of the year.

What Makes This PowerPoint Special?

• IT IS MODERN. This PowerPoint is full of colorful slides, high resolution pictures and media content. You may preview the PowerPoint in its entirety by clicking the video above underneath the thumbnail.
• IT IS SIMPLIFIED. This PowerPoint only presents information from the item specifications and teaches it in a manner that enhances overall understanding and retention.
• IT IS INTERACTIVE. My pedagogy has evolved over the years to become more interactive for the students. I make guided notes to align with my lessons - they are a combination of an outline and doodle notes - allowing students to draw, label, and even stop to answer questions along the way.
• IT IS ALIGNED. My PowerPoint lessons align with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that 45 states have adopted (21) or based their framework on (24). My End Of Course (EOC) pass rate has been between 95-100%.

What You Will Receive:

• A zip file containing:
  • The PowerPoint in PPTX format.
    • A "warm-up" or "bell-ringer" review to do the class after presenting the lesson. It is an escape room format - this is a fun and unique way for kids to practice and review. The answer to the warm-up is also provided.
  • A PDF of the PowerPoint that has been watermarked and flattened for posting online (see Terms of Use below).
  • Guided Notes. These are 1 sheet, front and back. I have provided them with blanks and without blanks, in both word and PDF formats.
  • A Thank You & Terms of Use page with my email.
