Protein Synthesis Project - Ozark School District



Protein Synthesis Project – Due Date: Friday February 6 Objective: To create an accurate model/presentation of DNA, RNA, and proteins as well as the processes of DNA replication and protein synthesis.Materials: You can use any materials available to you – be creative!Grade: The rubric is below.Who You Can Work With: You may work in groups of three students or less.What You Can Do: Write a song describing DNA, RNA and protein synthesisA 3-D model, computer drawing, or poster story board of DNA, RNA, and showing the processes of DNA replication and protein synthesisA video clip / Photo story using DNA, RNA, and protein pieces explaining the processes of DNA replication and protein synthesis Protein Synthesis Project Rubric:Process5 pts10 pts15 pts20 ptsDNA Structure & FunctionModel: DNA ModelSong/Video/PhotoStory:Includes less than 2 images relating to DNA. Mentions DNA holds the genetic information.Model: DNA model with some parts labeledSong/Video/PhotoStory:Includes 2 images relating to DNA. These images are labeled. Gives partial description of DNA structure and function.Model: 3-D DNA model; parts are labeledSong/Video/PhotoStory:Includes 3 images relating to DNA (in addition to the helix, nucleotide bases, chemical structure) Gives most of the structure functions of DNA.Model: DNA model; parts are labeled; hydrogen bonds are present and correct, shows helix, bases, chemical structure and describes structure and function Song/Video/PhotoStory:Includes 3 images relating to DNA (in addition to the helix, nucleotide bases, chemical structure) Describes the complete structure and function of DNA in completely.DNA ReplicationModel: DNA Model is presentSong/Video/PhotoStory:States DNA replication must occur before a cell divides. Includes one image, not labeled.Model: DNA model present; shows replication beginning to occurSong/Video/PhotoStory:States DNA replication must occur before a cell divides. Includes two images with enzymes labeled.Model: DNA model present; shows replication beginning to occur; includes helicase Song/Video/PhotoStory:States DNA replication must occur before a cell divides. Includes three images with enzymes and strands labeled. States the direction of DNA replication, labels leading and lagging strands.Model: DNA model showing replication occurring; includes helicase and includes DNA polymerase Song/Video/PhotoStory:States DNA replication must occur before a cell divides. Includes four or more images with enzymes and strands labeled. States the direction of DNA replication, labels leading and lagging strands. Describes process with enzymes.Transcription & TranslationModel: mRNA molecule is presentSong/Video/PhotoStory: States locations of transcription and translation. Names the four bases of RNA, using the letters and chemical names. Gives a 1-3 sentence summary about what occurs in transcription and translation. Includes one images, no labels. Description has more than two errorsModel: mRNA molecule present; a model of the protein is presentSong/Video/PhotoStory: States locations of transcription and translation. Names the four bases of RNA, using the letters and chemical names. Gives a 3-5 sentence summary about what occurs in transcription and translation. Includes two images with labels. Description has 2 errorsModel: model of transcription and translation is present (mRNA, protein, and ribosome)Song/Video/PhotoStory: States locations of transcription and translation. Names the four bases of RNA, using the letters and chemical names. Gives a 5-7 sentence summary about what occurs in transcription and translation. Includes three images with labels. Gives an example of how DNA is transcribed into mRNA.Description has 1 or fewer errorsModel: transcription and translation is present (mRNA, protein, and ribosome, tRNA) and all parts are labeledSong/Video/PhotoStory: States locations of transcription and translation. Names the four bases of RNA, using the letters and chemical names. Gives a 7+ sentence summary about what occurs in transcription and translation. Includes three images with labels. Gives an example of how DNA is transcribed into mRNA and how mRNA is translated into proteins.Sources Cited(I will post reference directions in your home directory)Model: No citations present.Song/Video/PhotoStory:No citations present.Model: 2 sources have been cited Song/Video/PhotoStory:A few of the pictures and some of the text are present.Model: 3 sources have been citedSong/Video/PhotoStory:Most text and pictures are properly cited.Model: 4+ sources have been citedSong/Video/PhotoStory:All text and pictures are properly cited with footnotes.Overall ProjectProject is incomplete, not concise, and unclear evident lack of effortProject has a few errors and poor presentation quality. Project is accurate with decent presentation quality and well thought out. Project is completely accurate, clean, concise, and understandable. Well planned and uniqueGroup Members_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Total Score ____________/100 ................
