Newpath Learning DNA Replication 3-D Model Kit, 1 Teacher Guide and 5 Student Guides
Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.
Using this engaging, hands-on activity, students will employ easy-to-assemble models of the main enzymes involved in DNA replication - DNA polymerase, helicase and primase - to copy a DNA template. In the process, they’ll learn about the importance of RNA primers as well as leading and lagging strands and can even do an optional activity on proofreading. Makes a great resource for introductory or advanced genetics lessons.
The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
