Coronavirus RNA Vaccine 3-D Model Making Kit

Clear visual demponstration of how RNA vaccines work! Perfect for use in class or for distance learning at home!

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.

The challenge of coronavirus (causing COVID-19) has led to the development of novel types of vaccines such as ones made of RNA. Our model shows how RNA vaccines work, not only in the context of coronavirus, the model can be used to teach RNA vaccines in other contexts. In addition, students learn how such vaccines give immunity and what happens when a vaccinated person gets infected with the virus.

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.
