(DNA): National Science Foundation Conference Rubric

Structures of DNA and RNA are thoroughly explored (includes nitrogenous bases, types of sugars, and types of bonds)

Discussion of protein synthesis (transcription and translation) is thorough (where each one happens, which molecules are involved, the steps of each process are included)

Discussion of DNA replication is thorough (where it happens, which molecules and major enzymes are involved, explanation of "semi-conservative")

Discussion of ways to design an experiment to construct these explanations is included (design an experiment or include experiments about DNA/RNA that have been done in the past)

Presentation, GAVS talk, concept map, or instruction sheet is the format of the artifact (or submitted "your choice" proposal form for preapproval)

All references are included
