Protein synthesis activity - needs a bit of preparation but really useful for getting pupils to understand the process.
DNA nucleotides need printing on A3 then slicing up the middle and a treasury tag putting between the two strands so they can be opened. RNA nucleotides need cutting out individually. Sellotape/masking tape is needed to stick them together. tRNA molecules need to be printed and bit of sticky back velcro stuck to them and their corresponding amino acid.
Film to show what it looks like when pupils make the animation.
Correct the mistakes activity as well.
Also a storyboard as well for pupils to complete - one fill in the gaps, one with full description.
Updated February 2022 as the diagram on the handout had incorrect complementary bases on the tRNA! Also added a storyboard activity as well.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
This is fantastic - thank you for sharing
Very useful PPT and exercise; I didn't use the cutting activity as I'm now a home tutor.
