This week in Biology we covered A LOT of ground...Phonecian alphabet, pictograms, merits of letter-based writing systems, DNA as code, protein synthesis, and we still hand time for a quick round of Biology Hang-man.
After a quick review of the nuts and bolts of how DNA codes for proteins, the kids did a simulation activity in which they decoded 6 genes into the appropriate amino acid sequences and then drew the resulting organism.
