You don't want to break these chains! Show young chemists and biologists the basics of polymerization with a simple interactive. The resource gives learners three types of polymers to experiment with, as well as a brief tutorial about...

What does it take to produce all of the proteins that make up a living organism? An amazing series of events! Biology novices review the steps of protein synthesis by breaking down transcription and translation in detail. Colorful...

Students study DNA decoding and protein synthesis. They use the amino acid table to translate DNA, break DNA strands into three nucleotide codes, and translate nucleotides into amino acid protein codes. They research the importance of...

Mutation and auxotrophs are discussed. Next, the details of RNA transcription and how enzymes can control splicing and introns are given.

In this DNA worksheet, students compare the DNA sequence of a human and a cow to complete 4 fill in the blank questions and 4 short answer questions.

In this DNA worksheet, students access a website to learn about how single-celled organisms function successfully. Then students pretend they are a bacterium and determine how to transport lactose across their cell membrane for food....

Beginning biologists demonstrate their grasp on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and energy flow though ecosystems when completing this worksheet. Fifteen multiple choice and short answer questions test their knowledge. Because of...

Students test for amaylase enzyme in a variety of substances. Student pairs perform a series of tests to determine how long it takes the starch sample to change to sugar molecules and the blue color to disappear when various saliva...

In this genes worksheet, students review the system that controls gene expression and the enzymes required for regulating genetic expression. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 7 short answer questions.

Try this interactive module from the Brooklyn College to help understand the genetic code and how changes in the code effect the final protein product.
