Students in my 9th grade science class will be given an analogy of a LEGO factory to help them understand how proteins are manufactured in the cell. Students will first take quick notes on the analogy as I go over them on the PowerPoint. Then when we emphasize how the 20 different amino acids (LEGO bricks) can come together in an infinite amount of different combinations to create a final product (proteins). So after notes are taken students will be given a baggy of LEGO bricks where they can create their own product (protein) out of the 20 LEGO pieces (amino acids) I gave them.
