@steveroyle - agreed, the fundamental concepts would be a really fun theoretical module, but doing practical experiments would be quite a jump. Mind you, I like the idea of young school children learning how DNA base pairing works (you'd see that you can't pair G-A) and you could even make large tRNAs perhaps to start on the triplet code... The main point though is that chemists and physicists get empowered early, whereas biologists get empowered late, prompting the question of what might happen if you tried to empower biologists early... 🙂
