2/6	Color DNA Color Replication		Turn in notebook
7	Watch a video Build  model of DNA molecule that is 12 Base Pairs long using beads, paperclips and pipe cleaners. Draw a picture of your DNA molecule in your notebook, or take a pic that you can print and glue in notebook. Now simulate replication. Draw a picture or take a picture of this process too. A = Green T = Red G = Yellow C = Blue Blue Bead = Deoxyribose (sugar)		Read page 406 - 407, The Code in DNA. From the reading: 1) what are primary functions of DNA 2)What is the basic unit of DNA? 3) What are nucleotides made from? 4) What are the different nucleotides? Read page 410 - 11, Double the Code. From the reading: 5) Describe Complementary base pairing.

Share the document with Ms. Sherwood at lsherwood@g.ptschools.org		Page 413 - Read Copying DNA. From the reading: 1) Describe how DNA separates 2) in replication, what happens next? 3) How is DNA replication related to Mitosis?
