Amino Acid Starter Kit^©

Your students will be so engaged, they won’t even notice how complex their learning is. Working collaboratively, groups of students explore the chemical properties of amino acids to guide them as they fold their own proteins. As they begin to realize that DNA is a code for amino acid sequences that ultimately determine protein structure, their confidence soars!
