Transcription - This senior biology lesson starts by reviewing the three main parts of transcription. The lesson then details the process of protein synthesis including how mRNA is converted into amino acids by ribosomes and tRNA. The lesson is very in-depth and includes many pictures and diagrams so that your students will gain a better understanding of the concepts.

This lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions), THREE embedded videos, a student lesson handout as a document, and a 4-question exit ticket.

Buyer Comment: "This is a hard subject to teach. I am looking forward to using this powerpoint. It looks like a great powerpoint to explain a complicated subject."

In Order, the Lesson Covers:

• Transcription Review
• Codons and the Genetic Code
• Amino Acids
• Ribosomes
• tRNA
• Start and Stop Codons

Included in the lesson package is:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• THREE embedded videos
• An auto-graded Exit Ticket and a separate quiz with an answer key
• Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Exit Ticket

Included in your package is an Exit Ticket which can be directly accessed from the last Google Slide. Additionally, your purchase will create a copy of the Google Form Exit Ticket which you can edit to meet your class needs.
