Antibodies 3-D Model Making Kit

A new way to teach antibody structure and function!

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 antibody is a remarkable weapon of the immune system. Now your students can make their very own model of an antibody complete with antigen!

A great way to cover antibody structure and humoral immunity. Light chain, heavy chain, globular domains and antigen binding site are all modeled. Form an immune complex with all of the antibodies and antigens in the class! You can also review tertiary and quaternary protein structure.

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.

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.

Based upon the NGSS Standards, students are expected to develop and use models to represent structures, systems and processes, and then provide explanations, make predictions, or investigate possible solutions.

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.
