Anticodons And Amino Acids Game

What is in that double helix? Explain intricate concepts with a variety of creative activities in a activity that incorporates multiple steps to cover DNA structure, nucleic acids, and proteins. Pupils explore the history of DNA...

Three steps are needed to extract DNA from learners' inner cheek cells. The procedure and reasons for each step are explained. As enzymes work on the cells, a series of questions are answered regarding the structure of the DNA molecule....

The picture of the DNA double helix provides a logical start to describing how the base pairs match up and how the order codes for a chain of protein molecules—three billion of these base pairs code for any protein present in your body....

Discussions of DNA occur in Jurassic Park, X-men, Dexter, and CSI, yet many don't fully understand it. The video explains what DNA is, where it is located, and how it forms proteins. The chemistry of life becomes understandable through...

String up a message. Pupils string together colored beads to code a word or short phrase. Each color represents one of the four DNA bases. Using a combination of three bases, learners create an amino acid that stand for each letter of...

Explaining exactly how DNA works to provide genetic information is a complex topic, but it is presented in a clear and engaging way through a five-minute video. Have learners try to explain how DNA works before watching the video, then...

With paper DNA patterns, budding biologists model translation and base-pair substitution within sequences. Through these activities, they examine how mutations can result in genetic disorders. The modeling that occurs is an enlightening...

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...

Starting from a view of cells, a constructive simulation shows every step of building a new protein. It walks through transcription, translation, building amino acids, and folding the protein. Viewers control if it plays as a video or...

DNA writes 64 different words but only codes for 20 different amino acids. Budding scientists learn about where each of these numbers come from and why they aren't equal with an online interactive. The resource explains the research, the...
