NewPath Learning DNA structure 3-D Model Kit, 1 Teacher Guide and 5 Student Guides
Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they simplify structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students will get an engaging overview of DNA structure.
Using the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model set, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.
Using the DNA Structure 3-D Model Kit, your students make base pairs and combine them to make a model of the DNA double helix. In fact, they can make as long a DNA model as they’d like with any sequence they wish. In the process, they will learn the importance of complementary base pairing, nucleotide structure, double-helix shape, 5' and 3' ends, antiparallel strands, sugar-phosphate backbone, purines and pyrimidines, and DNA sequence. Makes a great resource for advanced or introductory level lessons.
The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models, working cooperatively, along with a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide.
Also includes a comprehensive, illustrated Teacher Resource Guide for effective preparation and integration of the models’ use in instruction.
