Constructing a Protein Sentence

Students explore DNA structure using materials such as Twizzlers, small colored gumdrops and/or toothpicks.

Students describe DNA and the roles in which engineers are involved with the human body.  In this DNA activity students participate in a class demonstration. 

Students decipher a code. In this DNA codes lesson students are given directions on how to build a shelter out of Popsicle sticks. The directions are written in code.

Fourth graders, using candy, build models of DNA replication, RNA transcription, and tRNA translation.

In this science related worksheet, students study, locate and answer ten multiple choice questions dealing with protein synthesis.

Fourth graders walk through the process of transcription and translation to demonstrate and explain protein synthesis. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to guide their role play.

Students construct a model of DNA to learn DNA structure and decode it to better explain protein synthesis. They also have an actual badge made out of beads of their DNA literacy to wear or use.

Students experiment with acids and bases. In this elementary level chemistry lesson, students perform activities for testing acids and bases. They use universal indicator paper to determine which substances are acidic and which are...
