Phillip Saves Bob

By Jackie E Knox

This book takes the difficult concepts of transcription and translation and the function of cellular organelles and puts them into a simple story. Once students read the story they will have a good grasp of how DNA becomes a protein and how proteins affect phenotype. They will also understand how cellular organelles work together in this process. As a new teacher I was very good at having students memorize the functions of cell organelles but gave the students little knowledge as to what those functions actually meant (makes proteins, packaging and shipping,...). The purpose of this book is so that students gain a true understanding of the functions and interconnected processes that help determine who we are. There are some aspects of the story meant for the storyline and do not actually happen (phospholipids don't go on journeys to the nucleus, or travel through time for that matter), but the characters are meant to represent their true identity in the cell and will help students not only remember but understand those identities.
