Nucleic Acids & Cellular Chemistry Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Hyperthermal Enzyme Resilience of Thermus aquaticus Taq Polymerase in 95-Degree PCR Thermal Cycling Presentation | Chemistry II | Grades 9–12
This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Chemistry II (grades 9–12) chapter Nucleic Acids & Cellular Chemistry, built around the phenomenon Hyperthermal Enzyme Resilience of Thermus aquaticus Taq Polymerase in 95-Degree PCR Thermal Cycling. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
- What's inside: SCAFFOLDED Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 16 slides).
- Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.
Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for Chemistry II, grades 9–12.
