The Flow of Genetic Information Kits would be very beneficial to my students because the kits would allow my student to model several molecular level processes vital to understanding DNA replication, Transcription, and Translation. These topics are essential to understanding cellular reproduction and how DNA is able to carry genetic information and express physical traits. The great things about the kits is that they are so versatile, so that the same components can be used to model several different cellular processes. This will allow my students to visualize how and more importantly why it is essential for these processes to take place within each of our cells. One of the things that I love about models is that they give the students the opportunity to "talk" through the different processes. They can take on the role of the teacher and model this process and explain what is happening and why. By teaching it to their classmates, they are better able to understand it and internalize it on a deeper level.
