Biological Molecules - The Board Game (a fun game covering all aspects of the AQA Biology A-Level)

(0)
I've designed this board game as a revision tool to us with A-level groups, to help consolidate the topic of Biological Molecules (including nucleic acids) Included in the package is the board game (with editable word version), all nucleotide card templates, and all 120 questions (editable version included too). All you need are some dice and counters :) The rules (noted on the board are as follows: Place all shuffled question and nucleotide cards face down on their respective piles. Start on the yellow square. Roll the die, and move that many spaces along the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA, all the way to the top. Move across the organic bases and back down the other strand until you reach the final red square. As you move around the board, you will collect nucleotide cards. You will need to match cards with complimentary bases in order to start forming a stable double stranded molecule of DNA. The winner is the player who can form the largest, double stranded molecule of DNA from all of their nucleotides. If you land on: Red phosphate – draw a card from the question pile. If you answer correctly, you can take 1 nucleotide card. Green sugar – move forward 2 spaces Blue sugar – take a free nucleotide from the pile (cytoplasm) Purple sugar – miss a turn Orange sugar – mutation occurs: discard one nucleotide card of your choice and pick up a new one from the pile
