Nucleotide Student Modeling Pack

Students can individually model replication, transcription, biotechnology concepts and more with the hands-on models and digital activities in our Nucleotide Student Modeling Pack.

• Model repcation of the leading and lagging strands of DNA.
• Model transcription as they copy one strand of DNA into mRNA using an RNA polymerase. 
• Model how a sequence of nucleotides in DNA encodes a sequence of amino acids in a protein.
• Model polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing, restriction enzymes & palindromic restriction enzyme cleavage sites.

See Flow of Genetic Information Kit and Biotechnolgy Kit student handouts and teacher resources for ideas on how to use the Nucleotide Student Modeling Pack with your students.
