Immune System 3-D Model Making Kit Set of 5

Make the immune system easy to understand!

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.

This innovative model gives students an understanding of the cellular interactions of the immune system.

Students make models of helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, B cells, plasma cells, antibodies, cytokines, memory cells and phagocytes. The learning activity then shows students how these immune cells interact to protect us from pathogens.

It covers key concepts including: innate immunity, adaptive immunity, immunological memory, clonal expansion, antigen specificity, antigen presentation and MHC.

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.
