Protein Synthesis Kit My objective was to make this abstract concept easy for me to teach and for my students to understand. My mission was accomplished, and yours can be also. I realize that there are several kits out there that claim to do the same. None that I have used provide a better learning tool or make teaching protein synthesis easier. Students leaving my classes had a deep understanding of how DNA codes for the amino acids that make up proteins.
What makes this kit different from other kits is:
- The teacher can simulate the process using large manipulative models that can be seen by an entire classroom. Narrate, pose questions, and control the pace of learning.
- Student assessment is included. Given their own smaller size models and a DNA sequence, students model the process. Using an answer key corresponding to the student's DNA sequence, teachers can easily check for the correct Amino Acids (AA). Students document mRNA, tRNA and AA sequences. If an incorrect AA sequence is found, the teacher can readliy spot where the student is having problems.
- There is no cutting, pasting or grocery store shopping. Everything you need is in the kit. Use it again and again, no consumables.
- A detailed teacher's manual and a step-by-step PowerPoint on CD is included.
- It is easy to use and a lot of fun!
