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.

Use this colorful, 3-dimensional model of a chloroplast to explore the structure of a chloroplast and how it enables it to carry out the reactions of photosynthesis. The model is an excellent means for showing where the light and dark reactions take place. Covers thylakoids, stroma, grana, intermembrane space, outer membrane, inner membrane, photosystems, electron transport, proton pumps and ATP synthase.

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.
