Protein Synthesis Activity - Building Sentences
From Gene to Protein - Transcription and Translation | |
|
Download Student Handout Download Teacher Notes High School Activity: Students learn how a gene provides the instructions for making a protein, and how the gene for sickle cell hemoglobin results in sickle cell anemia. Simple paper models are used to help students learn the basic molecular biology of transcription and translation. More... |

Say it with DNA | |
|
Download Lesson Plan High School Activity: This activity uses the metaphor of decoding a secret message for the Protein Synthesis.process. Students teach themselves the sequence of DNA-Translation (DNA-mRNA-tRNA-protein), and practice with DNA codes which translate into amino acid sequences spelling out meaningful sentences in English! This activity provides practice in base-pair matching and following the sequence as performed by cells. Further practice is provided by requesting students to create new DNA messages which can be "decoded biologically" by others. More... |

Download Lesson Plan High School Activity: Great visual and kinesthetic activity for high school students to learn transcription and translation. Students get to experience transcribing DNA code into mRNA, translating mRNA codons tRNA's anti-codons on the ribosome A site and building polypeptide chain on the P site. All materials required for the activity are included in this lesson including a picture of a ribosome, tRNA structure, peptide bonds, DNA structure, and more. More... |
