ABOUT THE tRNA SET
Unlike most teaching aids, the MIT models are designed to teach what the molecules do, not just what molecules look like. These injection molded molecules are made to be manipulated. In this way educators can teach abstract concepts in concrete ways. Students can perform translation (with the DNA/RNA and Protein Sets). Diverse populations including English language learners, middle schoolers, and AP biology students all have found the learning experience interesting and memorable.
