| W991104 DNA Teacher Pack (click) |
13+ | 1 | There’s no better way to help students grasp the concept of DNA than with LEGO bricks! With this exciting new curriculum, students build models of DNA using LEGO elements that represent bases, sugars, and phosphates, and identify codons and the amino acids that they represent. Two sets of instructions are included: basic, which covers three class lessons, and advanced, which has two lessons plus additional activities. This Teacher Pack includes all of the instructional materials that get your students started in building double helix models. Helpful overheads are included in the teacher’s guide, and the pack includes a DNA Student Set for demonstration purposes. |
