This “Friends Kit” provides hands-on models, including unique uracil tubes and foam tRNAs, to demonstrate how DNA and RNA build proteins, with options to model mutations.
We Include a Complementary Course With Your Model
Description
The premium DNA friends kit is our most complete protein synthesis set: 7 tRNAs with 7 amino acids, plus uracil tubes. Together, they show how DNA and RNA work as a team to build proteins.
Why choose the premium DNA friends kit
With seven tRNAs and seven different amino acid shapes, students build a longer chain. As a result, they see real variety in a protein. Also, each amino acid has its own shape, so students tell them apart at a glance.
What is inside
The kit adds unique uracil tubes and foam tRNAs. First, they trace the path from a DNA gene to messenger RNA. Then they finish with a chain of amino acids. In addition, you can model mutations and discuss what happens when one letter of the code changes.
Lessons you can teach with the premium DNA friends kit
For example, use it for transcription, translation, the genetic code and mutations. Likewise, the NIH page on RNA (ribonucleic acid) gives students a trusted reference.
The kit goes along with the Dynamic 3D DNA Model. Because the tube colors match the model, everything works as one system.
Made for teachers and families
Biology teachers, homeschool families and tutors use this kit for group work and demos. Besides, it ships with a tRNA user guide. You can also browse the free curriculum for lesson ideas.
