Great way to introduce protein synthesis to my AP Bio kids, before we delve more deeply using the text and lecture.
Recommended: Handbook, AP LevelGizmo User from California
Once you have taught transcription, translation and mutations this is an excellent follow up. We are going to use it as a group assignment
