Biology and Chemistry Week 8: DNA, Stoichiometry and Bonding

Biology-Week 8 9/30-10/4 

Replication of Watson and Crick DNA model, contains some of the original metal plates used for the bases.  http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/images/i030/10299555.aspx

 The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA.  It's the same ratio that you'll find in the very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Biology Learning Goal:  The student will investigate the scientists that discovered the relationships between DNA and genes.  They will map, illustrate and perform laboratory investigations on the overall structure of the DNA model.  Make comparisons with RNA and recreate protein synthesis.
