Models are powerful tools for teaching science because they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.
Show what makes animal, plant, bacterial and fungal cells different to each other with our easy to make models.
First, your students make models out of the colorful parts of four different cells. Then, they use these to look at what the subcellular structures do and compare and contrast the different types of cell.
The model covers the following: nucleus, chromosome, mitochondrion, chloroplast, vacuole, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosomes, plasmids and flagella.
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.
