1. A DNA Story Your Instructions: Your cast:
Write a story, or draw a comic about how DNA is copied and turned into protein.
It will feature a specific cast of characters and explain how all of the parts work together.
The gene is a recipe for apple pie
The nucleus is a library
DNA is a recipe book
mRNA = copy of the recipe
The ribosome is a kitchen
The protein made is an apple pie

2. ALTERNATIVE STORY ACTIVITY
Now collect the cut and use it to tell your neighbour the story of protein synthesis.
Do not cut around every base as this will be too fiddly and takes ages. Just cut up to very near the bases as shown so that you can match them up with corresponding bases.
