DNA Replication 3-D Model Making Kit

A dynamic way to teach hands-on DNA replication!

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.

With this engaging hands on set, students use easy to make models of the main enzymes involved in DNA replication (DNA polymerase, helicase and primase) to copy a DNA template.

They learn about the importance of RNA primers, leading and lagging strands and can even do an optional activity on proofreading. Makes a great resource for advanced or introductory level lessons.

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.
