Say it with DNA Lesson Plan
Activity
This activity uses the metaphor of decoding a secret message for the Protein Synthesis.process. Students teach themselves the sequence of DNA-Translation (DNA-mRNA-tRNA-protein), and practice with DNA codes which translate into amino acid sequences spelling out meaningful sentences in English! This activity provides practice in base-pair matching and following the sequence as performed by cells. Further practice is provided by requesting students to create new DNA messages which can be "decoded biologically" by others.NGSS Standard
