Instructions: • Be sure to print each different component on a different color paper; for instance, codons should be all in one color. Each amino acid should be a different color. • Be sure to laminate everything! • To make peptide bonds, just cut sheets of white cardstock into thirds or fourths, laminate them and attach velcro to them to attach to amino acids. • Don’t forget to have codon charts available! • Make enough amino acids so that each student gets to be a “tRNA” at least once.
