Description: At last! The instructor guide for using the Exploring DNA Structure CD, a lab manual for digital biology.
Synopsis:
Your students can explore the structure of DNA through the wonder of digital biology and learn how to use molecular modeling tools at the same time. The instructor guide contains:
- answer keys for all the activities,
- quizzes that can be used a pre- and post tests, and answer keys for the quizzes,
- implementation ideas,
- assessment suggestions,
- tables showing alignment with the National Science Education Standards,
- and references, images, and descriptions for all 70 structures on the Exploring DNA Structure CD,
- plus all the material in the student version of the text,
- and on-line materials, too! The on-line site contains powerpoint slides and color images.
This text contains several hands-on activities, accompanied by worksheets, to facilitate student exploration. Some activities are more guided, others encourage inquiry-driven work. Chapters are included on using Cn3D, a popular program for viewing molecular structures; techniques used for solving molecular structures; and on the history, discovery, and structure of DNA.
This manual is designed to accompany the "Exploring DNA Structure" CD; however it can be used as a stand-alone guide for working with any DNA structure obtained from the Molecular Modeling database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
