An introduction to CRISPR-Cas9 as a 'find and replace' tool for DNA, comparing its precision to older methods.
A comprehensive business strategy project where students act as consultants to develop a strategic plan and performance measurement system using SWOT analysis, Porter's Five Forces, and the Balanced Scorecard. This project includes scaffolded templates for analysis and a structured framework for goal setting.
This lesson guides students through a summative project where they construct and explain models of transcription and translation, focusing on the flow of genetic information from DNA to proteins within the cell.
A 50-minute high-energy review lesson covering cell membrane dynamics, homeostasis, and the mechanisms of speciation.
A comprehensive project-based lesson where students develop a strategic plan and a Balanced Scorecard for a business, moving from situational analysis to actionable metrics.
