translation+steps+J.O.

Back: Assignments Life Science

After emulating the process of translation in protein synthesis, the students were asked to use their experience and summarize the process as a series of steps. Below is a student example that shows an understanding of the process. This is not a perfect list, but it is very good. The reason for this is that the writing was produced from an experience and not the memorization of a list. The incorrect writing about a "stop" amino acid is an artifact of the activity and an error of mine in designing this activity. In a way, this error shows the depth of learning produced by this activity. Note to self, remove the amino acid model piece with "stop" written on it from the print out.
