DNA Twizzlers Lab
A package Twizzler candy, round toothpicks, a package of multi-colored mini marshmellows, index cards with three codons (9 amino acid bases coding for 3 proteins) Optional - DNA codon interpretation sheet. This lab leads nicely into naming the 20 amino acids if you have set up a class set that contains all the possibilities.
Reproducible can be found at : http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Codons.html
