Newpath Learning Translation and Protein Synthesis 3-D Model Kit, 1 Teacher Guide and 5 Student Guides
About This Item
Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.
Ribosomes are the factory workers of the cell! Your students will build their own model ribosome out of paper that they can hold in the palm of their hand. They will then use the model to make a peptide from five amino acids using transfer RNAs (tRNA) following a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. Through the process, they’ll gain an understanding of translation, protein synthesis, codons, anticodons, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA)!
The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
Includes:
- 5 Sets of Student 3-D Model Templates
