The Central Dogma of Biology makes sense when your students can make it happen right before their eyes. Don’t be surprised if someone blurts “Now I get it!” while using this kit. 

• Identify essential enzymes like helicase and polymerase 
• Model replication of the leading and lagging strands of DNA
• Explore transcription as they copy one strand of DNA into mRNA using an RNA polymerase
• Engage in translation/protein synthesis as they decode the mRNA into protein on the ribosome placemat
• Reenact the different results of the Meselson and Stahl experiments
• Kit comes with durable color-coded foam nucleotides, tRNAs, placemats, and more, which allow students to model DNA replication, transcription of DNA into RNA, and translation of RNA into proteins
• Addresses challenging concepts such as DNA strand directionality, anti-parallel structure, leading/lagging strands, and implications of encoded proteins due to changes in the DNA code.
