Protein Synthesis Manipulatives Kit

Quick Answer: The Protein Synthesis Manipulatives Kit is a classroom set of models for teaching how DNA and RNA direct protein synthesis, sized for a class of 30 students.

Construction and Features

Part of EduScope India's biology lab equipment range, this genetics teaching kit was developed by the same teacher behind EduScope India's recombinant DNA technology manipulatives. It includes 33 Teacher Manipulatives - colourful, large DNA, mRNA, ribosome, tRNA and amino acid models that attach to a blackboard and can be seen from the back of the classroom - plus 180 Student Manipulatives, smaller models for students to work through the process at their own desks. For assessment, each student is given a unique DNA sequence and asked to identify the resulting amino acid sequence, with a teacher key included for quick verification, and an Instructional CD demonstrates how to use the kit as students see protein synthesis in action, model it themselves and are then assessed on the lesson. The kit measures 29" x 14" x 4".

Pairs Well With the DNA Manipulatives Kit

For a fuller genetics teaching sequence, the Protein Synthesis Manipulatives Kit is often ordered alongside EduScope India's DNA Manipulatives Kit, taking students from DNA structure through to how that code is expressed as protein.
