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.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Using the colorful model, students will gain an understanding of the structure of the skin in a highly interactive way. Through the process of assembling the model, they’ll gain insights into the relationships between the different structures in our skin.

The model covers the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, germinative layer, dermal papilla, hair follicles, cutaneous nerve, sebaceous gland, arrestor pili muscle, sensory nerves and sweat gland.

The kit even includes various skin tones and hair colors so students can personalize their models! 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.
