What educators are saying

This is my favorite transcription/ translation activity to do with kids. In the past, I used a free version I found online, but this one is so much easier. You just have to print and cut.

Description

Ready to make the Central Dogma of biology come to life in a fun and engaging way? Introducing a hands-on transcription and translation activity...with words! Perfect for AP biology, senior biology, and high school biology students, this no-prep, just print-and-cut, resource will have your students buzzing with excitement!

With 41 DNA strands of various lengths provided, your students will get to choose their own 'genetic material' from the classroom 'nucleus' and experience the thrill of transcription and translation firsthand.

As they navigate through the classroom to locate the correct aminoacyl tRNA, with just their own handwritten mRNA transcript to guide them, they'll be on the edge of their sneakers to see if they will achieve a meaningful, mutation free, "protein" phrase. *Yes, you may need to give a short lesson in proper sentence structure! :)

With 41 different phrases in total, this activity is sure to be a hit with your students. Don't miss out on this fun and educational experience - bring the Central Dogma of biology to life today!

Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks; analyze the specific results based on explanations in the text.
NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSHS-LS1-1
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells. Assessment does not include identification of specific cell or tissue types, whole body systems, specific protein structures and functions, or the biochemistry of protein synthesis.
