Newpath Coronavirus Cycle 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 make the unseen visible and the complex simple. Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) that causes COVID-19 disease is rapidly spreading across the globe. This 3-D new model shows how these viruses infect lung cells and then use their cellular machinery and their own enzymes to replicate. Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students will first assemble a model to represent the Coronavirus Cycle as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others.
Kit includes enough materials for students to work cooperatively to assemble 5 paper models. Plus, an included comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide provides opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Kit satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop and use models to represent structures, systems, and processes. Perfect for use in the classroom, lab or at home.
