Description

This free DNA text reading activity is based on Watson and Crick's famous one-page article published in 1953 in Nature magazine, announcing their discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule. It comes with graphic organizers to help your students read and understand this classic scientific paper. Choose to use the traditional printable version, or the paperless, digital Google Apps version. Both Google Slides and Google Forms versions are included.

This is a fantastic way to teach students how to read scientific texts and articles. Students will read the one-page paper and complete a 4-page set of graphic organizers. Each graphic organizer page can be used alone or in combination with the other pages.

This activity is intended to be used with high school biology students. Students will gain experience in reading scientific journal articles and will be exposed to a major event in the history of science.

This article and accompanying graphic organizers are perfect for:

  • Classwork or homework assignment.
  • A quick and ready lesson for your substitute folder.
  • Early finishers.
  • Any Common Core lesson on information text.

Included in this product:

  • Watson and Crick Paper
  • Copyright Information
  • Teacher Guide and Instructions for Use
  • Printable Four-page Set of Graphic Organizers
  • Teacher Answer Key
  • Paperless Digital Version for use in Google Drive, Google Classroom, and /or Microsoft OneDrive
  • Google Slides Version (not editable)
  • Google Forms Version (editable)

The graphic organizers look best when printed in color, but print perfectly fine if you print using the grayscale setting on your printer.
