GTCA - Scientist’s Cut

GTCA - Scientist’s Cut (Long Version)
Enzyme, whatcha doin’ today?
I said, Enzyme, want to make DNA?
I said enzyme, show me your binding way
Let me mix you with some primers
Enzyme, time to build a new strand
I said enzyme, ’cause I know that you can
I said enzyme, these letters also spell DAN
All we need to get things started…
Is just a little bit of GTCA
Is just a little bit of GTCA
I can build DNA
I can be a big star
You’re the key to my PCR
That’s right I’m talkin’ ‘bout GTCA
Just a little bit of GTCA
I can make some new strands
I can view all my bands
I can be the best that I can
Enzyme, you have come a long way
But in my lab, demands are higher today
I said enzyme, now it’s time to go fast
We have got to increase throughput
Enzyme, I think I found what I need
It’s an enzyme, it gives me much higher speed
It goes so fast, when it builds DNA
All we need to get it started…
Is just a little bit of GTCA
Is just a little bit of GTCA
I can build DNA
I can reach for the stars
I can do faster PCR
That’s right I’m talkin’ ‘bout GTCA
Just a little bit of GTCA
I can make bigger strands
I can view better bands
I can be the best that I can
Yeah!!!!

Ahh, the teacher is bored!

For even more fun, try ~PhET~

The projectile motion sim is great, especially when you "shoot" a Buick or a piano.

There's also an excellent Teacher Ideas & Activities section ~HERE~


The guy at U/C Boulder who set this up won a Nobel Prize in physics.

I guess this is pretty typical for me. I launched an adult human, then sent the Buick next.

Angle of 75 degrees and leave them all set as is and its a score! you can play around with the initial launch speed and vary the result. Thanks!!! The kiddos will find this quite amusing I'm sure!!!
