Interactive Triplet Codon Module
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need an engaging, self-paced interactive module that introduces high-school students to the concept of the triplet codon and the early history of cracking the genetic code. The core storyline should open with George Gamow’s triplet proposal, explain why four RNA bases can code for twenty amino acids, and show how collaboration across physics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and genetics pushed the field forward.
Please structure the learning flow around short explanatory screens, drag-and-drop or multiple-choice checkpoints, and at least one simple simulation where students pair codons to amino acids. Sound or subtle animation is welcome as long as it runs smoothly in a modern browser without additional plugins.
Deliverables
• A browser-based HTML5/JavaScript package (SCORM-compliant or easily embeddable in an LMS)
• All source assets: images, audio, and editable code files
• A brief teacher guide outlining learning objectives, estimated completion time, and answer keys
Acceptance criteria
• Reads comfortably for a 9th–10th grade audience (Flesch-Kincaid ≤ 10)
• Includes a minimum of three interactive exercises with immediate feedback
• Fully functional on Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, desktop and tablet
Feel free to suggest creative touches that will help students visualize the logic of the genetic code while keeping the focus on clarity and scientific accuracy.
