Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they simplify 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 skin.

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.

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, 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.
