1. Protein Synthesis Project
Materials: white paper, pencil, & coloring utensils

2. Protein Synthesis Project
Fold your white piece of paper in half (hamburger style).
Fold it in half again (hamburger style).
Draw in the creases with pencil to form 4 equal boxes on each side.
Number each box in the lower right hand corner (#’s 1 – 8).
