Shark Paper Dissection (Female)
Here is the companion to the male shark paper dissection that has been quite popular. Many teachers have decided to give students the option to do a paper dissection rather than a real dissection if it goes against their beliefs. Some teachers use these for when a student is absent for a real dissection and of course, some only use paper or on-line dissections in lieu of the real for financial, environmental or other reasons. Students really seem to like these dissections, and they are suitab

Protein Synthesis - RNA Translation Activity with Codon Wheel
This protein synthesis activity is a creative way of helping students to better understand the process of RNA translation. Students first locate the "start" codon in a mRNA sequence and highlight it in yellow. They then rotate the color of highlighter to create a 3-letter color pattern to easily see the codons. Next, they write the matching tRNA base pairs for anticodons. Finally, they use the provided mRNA codon wheel to translate the sequence into a protein up until they reach a "stop" codo
