Ribosome Race

(3)
Print off (could laminate) slide 1 which is a key showing which codons code for which amino acid Give student copies of the second slide in groups Students then race to use the key to write out the correct sequence of amino acids for the DNA code they have been given. Could be used for higher tier KS4 or KS5 to illustrate the idea that DNA is used for code for proteins and that the DNA code is read in 'triplets' and that each triplet code for one amino acid. Further extension for A level - the idea of mRNA, transcription, translation, ribosome function, degenerate and non-overlapping nature of the genetic code.
