How It Is Used
The teacher simulates protein synthesis step by step on the board, moving the large DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosome and amino acid models at the class's pace so that students can ask questions along the way. Students then model the process with their own sets and are assessed by converting a unique DNA sequence into its amino acid sequence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many students does the Protein Synthesis Manipulatives Kit serve?
It includes 5 sets of student materials (180 student manipulatives), sufficient for a class of 30, plus 33 large teacher manipulatives.
How are students assessed with the Protein Synthesis Manipulatives Kit?
Each student is given a unique DNA sequence and asked to identify the resulting amino acid sequence; answers are checked with the included teacher key.
