Teach DNA structure with our interactive model!
With this exciting model your students make base pairs and combine them to make a model of the DNA double helix.

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.

They learn about the importance of: complementary base pairing, nucleotide structure, double-helix shape, 5' and 3' ends, antiparallel strands, sugar-phosphate backbone, purines and pyrimidines and DNA sequence. Makes a great resource for advanced or introductory level lessons.

You can make as long a DNA model as you like with any sequence you wish you use!

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.
