The Discovery of DNA, a more detailed look at Nucleotides - Assignment 3 and 4
have a look at the notes on DNA, the slideshow on DNA as well as the video explanation of nucleotides and how they fit. Watch my video on DNA
Here is another video from youtube which explains these concepts in more detail.

Lesson 1 DNA intro. Assignment 1 and 2
Have a look at this introductory video on DNA. DNA is a code, an alphabet. Its alphabet has only 4 letters, and these 4 letters can create words, which make instructions for all of life.
In this lesson, you will learn the basic structure of DNA.
I would like you to answer these questions:
In Microsoft Teams, I would like you to find your assignments for this DNA unit.
ASSIGNMENT 1 : part 1 DRAW DNA
First, draw a labeled picture of DNA that summarizes the main points of DNA. Photograph this cartoon in a clear picture and hand it in. your NAME MUST BE CLEARLY WRITTEN ON CARTOON.
The main points are:
1. DNA is made of nucleotides
2. The nucleotides are made of sugar, phosphate and a nitrogen base
3. The nucleotides join together in a ladder structure
4. The ladder structure is antiparallel.

My dear students, we miss you
I know this is a difficult time, but I would like you to know that your teachers miss you and care about you.
For many of us, Gladstone is our favourite school, and many of us have worked at other school sites. You are kind, caring, smart, with a beautiful spirit and we are inspired by your presence at Gladstone.
We can't be on site, but we can be together again in a virtual learning community! Please stay tuned here so that I can give you class assignments from my website. You will receive an email from your homeroom teacher at Gladstone. Please reply to that email!
We want to come together as a learning community again. I hope that you have the resources around you to be safe, to be fed, sheltered, to be at peace and to be connected with those who love and care for you.
If you need to contact anyone at the school, such as a counsellor or staff member, and you are not sure how to do that, please send me an email and I will try to connect you.
Blessings from home
Ms. Ng
