Cell Membrane Structure and Transport 3-D Model Making Kit

Teach your students about structure and transport across cell membranes by making an engaging paper model!

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.  

A great way to show cell membrane structure covering phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipids, glycoproteins and membrane proteins.

Your students will use their working model membranes to learn about transport across cell membranes. This will cover facilitated diffusion and co-transport, active transport by ATP, ion channels and bulk transport by exocytosis and endocytosis. An option to show plant specific cell membrane proteins is also included.

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.
