Blank lesson
Showing the details of how each of these things (smoking, diet) actually cause cancer- a disease of the genome.
Lesson Overview
Students complete a chart that isolates the molecules that cause problems, genes that are affected, and the results of these mutations.
Goals and Objectives
Students will be able to identify the particular molecule(s) that cause cells to become cancerous. Students will identify which genes are affected by different mutagens.
Common Misconceptions
Cancer is an inherited disease and is not directly caused by specific molecules.
The Lesson
Preparation Before class: Students must have prior knowledge of DNA, transcription, and translation; mutations; and the basic knowledge of what cancer is.
Describe any pre-class preparation necessary for the lesson. Students need computer, website information, and handouts.
During class
Part A: Students will go through a class pre-assessment to introduce topic. Part B: Students will use computers to view the presentation and answer questions and fill in data table. Part C: Students will review findings as a class and compare two ways that molecules can affect DNA and cause cancer. Time required: 55 min.
Estimate the amount of time for each part of the lesson. Part A: 5 min. Part B: 30 min. Part C: 20 min.
Student Handouts for the Lesson Plan
Image:What really happens.doc Describe any handouts and provide links to documents that include the handouts. Remember to upload the handouts to the wiki before linking to them.
Alternative Assessments
Describe any alternative activities or assessments you may have developed.
Suggestions for Extended Learning
Students can look at viruses, molds, or uv as an extension and identify how they cause cancer.
