Essential Questions: What is Cancer and how does it develop? How are DNA, the cell cycle, and protein synthesis related to cancer?
Unit Overview: In this unit the structure and function of DNA is explored. Students will explore how and when DNA is copied, how and when cells divide, how the cell cycle is regulated and how proteins are produced. Using this information students will be able to explain how cancer can develop. Punch Card and Quizzes

NGSS Performance Expectations
HS-LS1-1 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells. HS-LS1-4 Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms. |
