Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students will get an engaging overview of the antibody.

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.

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! The activity provides a great way to cover antibody structure and humoral immunity. Light chain, heavy chain, globular domains, and antigen-binding site are also modeled. Students will be able to form an immune complex with all of the antibodies and antigens! They 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, along with a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide.

Also includes a comprehensive, illustrated Teacher Resource Guide for effective preparation and integration of the models’ use in instruction.
