Objective Explain how mutations may cause changes in the structure and
function of a protein
3) English - Analyzing literary works that explore themes of genetic mutations and
their implications on society.
Review Motivation:
[Instructional Materials:]
3) Role-playing cards for students to act out scenarios related to protein mutations
1) Divide students into groups and provide each with a protein model.
2) Students draw a mutation card and simulate the mutation on the protein model.
3) Discuss the changes observed and how they impact protein function.
Assessment Questions:
2) What potential effects could this mutation have on the protein's function?
Instructions -
2) In groups, analyze the case study and identify the specific mutation and its effects.
3) Present findings to the class and discuss the implications of the mutation.
Assessment Questions:
2) What are the possible consequences of this mutation on the individual's health?
Instructions -
1) Assign students to pro and con sides of a debate on the ethics of genetic
engineering to correct protein mutations.
Assessment Questions:
2) How can societal views on genetic engineering impact research and treatment of
genetic disorders?
3) What are the potential risks and benefits of gene editing technologies?
ANALYSIS:
Activity 3 - Students engaged in critical thinking and argumentation skills during the
debate on genetic engineering and protein mutations.
ABSTRACTION:
Mutations in genes can lead to changes in the structure and function of proteins,
which can have significant implications for an individual's health and well-being.
Understanding these mutations is crucial in the fields of genetics and medicine.
APPLICATION:
Task 2 - Create a visual infographic illustrating the process of protein synthesis and
how mutations can impact protein structure and function.
