Are you looking for a fun activity aligned with this year's National Science Week theme of Decoding the Universe – Exploring the unknown with nature’s hidden language?
We've customised our Peptide Bracelet Activity to introduce students in Years 4-6 to the secret language of peptides and proteins. We also have a version for Years 7-10 which can be found here.
Bring students on a journey to decode the 21 naturally occurring building blocks and make a fun Peptide Bracelet for wonder molecules such as oxytocin, endorphin, cathelicidan, and insulin.
Handy Tip: if you do want to download and print this booklet out at home, it will look great printed as a Booklet, with printing on Both Sides and binding on the Left.
