DNA, RNA, and Snorks Teacher Guide
This activity can become tedious if you assign all of the snorks. It is recommended that
you assign only one (possibly) two for students to decode. Their sketches can be creative
and likely none will be the same, the key below shows you the traits that each snork
should have based on the codons and amino acid sequence. You may also wish to model
the first one to show students how to construct their snorks.
