An interactive activity for students to model protein synthesis. Tailored to the new AQA GCSE Biology specification. Students could cut their own resources out, but I made 10 identical laminated packs to use each year. Students can take photos of each stage in order to make a timeline. I have included a word document with photos of each stage.

Great visual resource that worked really well with a bottom set class. Thank you for making it an editable version too - for IGCSE they do have to know about mRNA, tRNA and U, but this was easy to change. Thank you for providing it free as well - I've seen much lower quality resources at a hefty price!! This is great value.

Great idea and perfect size to keep in little bags, but the use of T as an RNA nucleotide and the stop codon in the middle of the sequence were confusing. I suggest reposting a corrected version.

I understand what you say, but this is not an A-Level resource. It is intended for AQA GCSE Biology, which does not require any knowledge of RNA, or Uracil, or stop codons. They are editable though, so feel free to edit to your needs!

This is a really great model. I made a few changes to some of the base pairs (so that the first codon is a AUG and there is a stop codon at the end). Students got a lot out of modelling this. Thanks for sharing.
