Abstract

A role-play of transcription and translation to synthesize a short polypeptide was enacted in the classroom. At the end, students were quizzed about what they had learned and surveyed for their satisfaction with the activity. Most students performed well on the factualcomprehension questions. Students' satisfaction with the activity was generally high.
