Includes presentation covering theory of 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 along with accompanying handout.
Also has a key word list for Topic 4 with answers.
Also attached a polypeptide storyboard with gaps to fill in as well as a handout of key steps.
Contains a modelling activity for protein synthesis as detailed below.
Protein synthesis/DNA replication modelling activity (updated now to include a version that does not need straws!) - needs a bit of preparation but really useful for getting pupils to understand the process and if laminated can be reused many times.
You need to print the following documents for the model:
DNA-STRUCTURE: need printing on A3 then slicing up the middle and a treasury tag putting between the two strands so they can be opened.
DNA nucleotides need cutting out individually.
RNA-nucleotides need cutting out individually (you might want to do these on different colour paper)
Protein-synthesis-model: contains tRNA/amino acids/ribosome - tRNA molecules need to be printed and a bit of sticky back velcro stuck to them and their corresponding amino acid cut out and attached to other side of velcro.
Ribosome needs printing on A3.
Sellotape/masking tape/blue tac is needed to stick the nucleotides together.
DNA replication I normally carry out when I do DNA replication as when you’ve set up the resource you may as well use it again!
